Introducing the Sub View palette.
Using it could dramatically improve your drawing efficiency!
1. About the Sub View palette
The Sub View palette is a palette which can display arbitrary images other than the main window.
Besides that, you can also pick colors you want to use from the displayed image.
This can be used to display reference images for drawing and line drawing, displaying a color chart to select colors from, etc.
If the Sub View palette is not displayed on the screen, you can display it from the *Window menu > Sub View**.
2. Viewing Images
Tapping the Import button at the bottom right of the Sub View palette will display the Open dialog box.
In the case of tablet and smartphone (Studio Mode), you can import photos taken by using the Import from photo library button or take photos on the spot using the Import from Camera button.
Select an image to view using the Open dialog and click Open to display the image.
The displayed image can also be opened by dragging and dropping it on the Preview palette.
Note:
The Sub View palette can display the following formats: Clip Studio Paint Format (Extension: .clip), BMP, JPG, PNG, TIFF, Targa, Adobe Photoshop Document Format (Extension: .psd) and Adobe Photoshop Big Document Format (Extension: .psb).
The imported image will be saved even if Clip Studio Paint is closed, and will be displayed when the app is opened again.
However, it will not be displayed when the file position or file name is changed, in which case the image will have to be imported again.
3. Importing multiple images
The Sub View palette can import multiple images.
When multiple images are imported, tapping To previous image/To next image will switch the image to display.
Display previews of all images registered (Ver.2.2 or later)
You can check what images you have in your Sub View by tapping the Image list icon. The images will appear in a thumbnail list. You can also bring it up from Show menu > Image list at the top left of the palette.
When you add a new image, it will be added after the current image. The new image will be shown in the Sub View.
Image sorting and multiple selection (Version 3.2 or later)
If you want to reorder the images displayed in the pop-up list, you can drag and drop images to move them around.
If you want to select multiple images, tap on Show/Hide Item Checkboxes in the command bar at the bottom of the palette. This will allow you to select multiple images using checkboxes.
4. Deleting images
Tap Clear to delete the Sub View palette image.
The displayed image will be deleted.
Delete multiple images at once (Version 3.2 and later).
To delete all selected images at once, select Show/Hide Item Checkboxes, check the images you wish to delete, and tap Clear.
5. Obtaining the image color
While the Eyedropper tool is selected, colors can be selected from the image in the Sub View palette.
Holding a tool’s shortcut key will switch the current tool to that tool temporarily.
As such, colors can be obtained by holding the shortcut key of the Eyedropper tool (initially set as [i] key), so there is no need to switch between tools.
If the Sub view palette’s Switch to eyedropper automatically is on, the current tool will automatically switch to the Eyedropper tool within the Sub view palette.
This removes the need to switch tools from the main window, so you can efficiently perform coloring work.
6. Display operation
The image displayed on the Sub View palette can be dragged and scrolled.
Drag the Scale up/down Slider or tap Zoom In/Zoom Out to scale up/down the displayed image.
Drag the Rotating Slider or tap Rotate Left/Rotate Right to rotate the image.
Tapping Reset Rotate will reset the rotation angle of the image.
In addition, holding down the Ctrl (Command for macOS) key and clicking on the image will scale up the image, while holding down the Ctrl key and Alt (Option for macOS) key will scale down the image.
If Fit to Navigator is turned on, the entire image will be displayed to fill the size of the Sub View palette.
Changing the palette size will scale up/down the image accordingly.
7. Show and hide the Sub View palette using a keyboard
You can toggle between showing and hiding the palette by assigning a shortcut.
Since you can quickly show and hide it, displaying the Sub View palette in a large size will not interfere with work.
Tap the File menu (Clip Studio Paint menu for macOS) > Shortcut Settings.
Select Menu commands in Setting Area of the Shortcut Settings dialog, then select Window > Sub View and double-click it or tap Edit Shortcut.
Press the key you want to set as the shortcut and tap OK to register the shortcut.
Each time the set shortcut key is pressed, the Sub view palette is switched on or off.
