Layout Settings

 

You can choose between two different layouts for the tablet version: Simple Mode and Studio Mode.

● Simple Mode

Simple Mode is an interface that maximizes the use of your device's screen and gives access to all the basic functions necessary for illustration, as well as additional select functions.

It is recommended for those who are creating artwork for the first time or for want a more intuitive drawing experience.

● Studio Mode

Studio Mode is a conventional interface that allows you to use all the functions available in Clip Studio Paint.

This mode is recommended when you need multi-function access.

 

In both modes, each palette is initially stored in the form of an icon so that a wider drawing area is available for devices with smaller screens.

Tapping the icons displays the palettes in a pop-up.

 

If you prefer to use the same layout as the Windows/macOS version, you can change this in [Preferences].

If you select [Preferences] > [Interface] and uncheck the [Layout] check box, the display will be the same as the Windows/macOS version.

① Tap the [Settings] button in [Preferences] > [Canvas] > [Display resolution].

 

② When [Settings of display resolution] is shown, the display matches the scale of an actual ruler.
