Create a delivery file

Flatten and export image command

When saving a canvas, save it in the original file format of Clip Studio Paint, [.clip]. If you want to pass it on for printing or posting on the web, you will need to create the file in another file format, such as the general-purpose PSD/TIFF format.

Export procedure

If you need to submit image files for posting on the web or for printing, it is convenient to use the [Merge and export images] command.

■For printing → psd/tiff is often used

■For web e-books → png/jpg is often used

Select the specified file format and save.

Export Settings

When you execute the export command, the [Export Settings] dialog will be displayed. You may need to change the settings depending on your purpose. These settings can be saved and recalled by giving a name as [Preset].

For submitting rough draft (name)

If you're drawing your name on a sketch layer, turn on [Draft] in the output image. If you're using registration marks, default borders, or the text tool when naming, turn them on as well.

 

I sometimes output with a [Scale from original data] of about 50/25%, just so I can check it.

 

When reducing the image, set [Processing method] to [For illustrations]. Use [Comic] when creating a file for black and white printing.

For manga manuscript delivery (doujinshi)

"Text" and "print marks" are required for fanzines. [Output range] may be specified as either [Entire page] or [Up to the print marks bleed], so be sure to check.

For manga manuscript delivery (commercial magazines)

For commercial publications such as magazines and books where the bleed position changes, it is generally best to not use crop marks (for digital deliveries, alignment can be achieved at the time of printing as long as the canvas size is correct).

"Text" is also not required, but you may be asked to submit two versions of the manuscript, one with text and one without text for visual confirmation.

Please check the application guidelines for the individual destination to which you wish to apply.

↑The link below introduces newcomer awards. If you are writing a manuscript for a magazine, you should be able to submit it to most magazines if you draw it in the size of a commercial manga manuscript, so you can submit it to any magazine after you finish drawing.

For Web/E-books

In the case of web publishing/e-books, it seems that the author often prepares the text. Also, it may be specified to output without margins, such as limiting the [Output range] to [Inside the crop marks].

Assuming that it will be reduced in size, specify [Processing method] as [For illustrations].
