In this lesson, we will introduce the [Sub View] palette.
Using it could dramatically improve the efficiency of drawing!
1. [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
Clicking the [Import] button at the bottom right of the [Sub View] palette will display the dialog box.
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.
[POINT]
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 memorized even if CLIP STUDIO PAINT is closed, and will be displayed when opened again.
However, it will not be displayed when the file position or file name is changed, in which case the image has to be imported again.
3. Importing multiple images
The [Sub View] palette can import multiple images.
When multiple images are imported, clicking [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.
4. 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.
5. Display operation
The image displayed on the [Sub View] palette can be dragged and scrolled.
Drag the [Scale up/down Slider] or click [Zoom In][Zoom Out] to scale up/down the displayed image.
Drag the [Rotating Slider] or click [Rotate Left][Rotate Right] to rotate the image.
Clicking [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 the [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.
6. Deleting images
Click [Clear] to delete the [Sub View] palette image.
The displayed image will be deleted.
7. Toggle show and hide of the [Sub View] palette using a keyboard
Toggle show and hide of the palette by assigning a shortcut.
Since it can be switched quickly, displaying the [Sub view] palette in large size will not interfere with work.
Click the [File] menu （[CLIP STUDIO PAINT] menu for macOS) → [Preferences].
Select [Main Menu] in [Setting Area] of the [Shortcut Settings] dialog, then select [Window] → [Sub view] and double-click it or click [Edit Shortcut].
Press the key you want to set as the shortcut and click [OK] to register the shortcut.
Each time the set shortcut key is pressed, the [Sub view] palette is switched on or off.
