Hello, I'm Roxana and today I will be testing the Clip Studio Paint filters.

 

This wonderful tool can help us beautify or fix our works, as long as we know how to use it, we have the patience to try them and experiment with them and we don't forget to always have the layer we are editing duplicated.

 

That's right, our friends, filters usually affect the layer we have selected, neither the layer above nor the one below, just that one.

 

Therefore, it is necessary to have our illustration or the part that we want to modify on a single separate layer, specifically for the filter that we are going to use, that way if later we want to change or delete something we will always have our backup layer.

 

 

Line corrector

We can increase or decrease the thickness of our outline. We choose the number to know how much we want to increase or decrease the thickness of the line and it changes the thickness of the line of the entire image.

It doesn't matter if it's black and white or a backgroundless outline.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work with color images, so keep this in mind when using it.

 

 

Blur

We can use it to give more movement or dynamism to the character, to give prominence to our main character in the illustration, or to downplay the background of our illustration.

Motion blur

Create a movement effect throughout our layer, the direction of the effect will depend on the settings we give to the filter.

We can join it with a couple of lines to give more movement to the character and delete the part of the face or close to the face so that we continue to have a defined focus.

Gaussian blur

It will give us a diffuse effect throughout the image.

It is ideal for static images where we want to downplay the background or highlight a main object.

Rotation Blur

It is also perfect for giving movement to our illustrations.

We can play with the angle, shape and intensity, to achieve the desired result.

Radial blur

It is ideal to highlight something and give it prominence

Distort

It serves to change the lens of how we see the illustration

Convert to panoramic

It can help us make an illustration seen from a camera and play with perspective.

 

 

Polar coordinates

It gives us a more interesting effect, as if we were folding the illustration into a cone.

 

 

Geometric distortion

It allows us to play with the corners of our illustration

Shrink

It is something similar to Geometric Distortion but it starts from the center and does not necessarily cover the corners.

fisheye lens

It is similar to the panorama but I find it more customizable, choose the one that best suits your needs.

Waves

It is quite customizable and interesting, the effect it gives depends on the shape we choose.

 

 

Circular waves

It starts from the center and I love the distortion effect that makes it look like a drop of water has fallen on the illustration.

Swirl

The direction of this effect depends on the spin.

curved surface

We have the option of cylinder or sphere, to give shape to the effect.

Zigzag

It is a slightly more aggressive wave effect.

Effect

Chromatic aberration

Separates the red, green and blue color channels and shifts them.

 

 

Pencil drawing

It allows us to give a more traditional effect.

 

 

Noise

It allows us to give a little more texture to our illustration.

Mosaic

It allows us to pixelate our image or censor it

Vintage movie

It has several finishes, but this was my favorite.

Painter

It allows us to make the lines and colors in the illustration more noticeable, separating or highlighting them according to our configuration.

Normals map

It is used for textures in 3D modeling.

Well, that's it for this filter test, I hope it helps you with your projects. It is a pleasure to share this with you.
