|
For details on the setting method, see the descriptions of "Transformation settings" and "Image material" in "CLIP STUDIO PAINT Tool Setting Guide". |
5Guide lines are shown on the Canvas. Use the handles and control points on the bounding box to adjust the image’s orientation, size, and shape.

Scaling an image
If the transformation mode is set to [Scale/Rotate] in the [Tool Property] palette, you can scale an image by dragging the handles.

·To transform only the vertical length or horizontal length, turn off [Keep aspect ratio] in the [Tool Property] palette. ·Even if [Keep aspect ratio] is turned off, you can scale without changing the original ratio by holding down Shift while dragging. ·Dragging while holding down Alt allows you to scale the image up and down the image from the center point. |

Dragging the rotation handle allows you to rotate the image.
(1) Move the center point (+).
(2) Drag the rotation handle to rotate the image around the center point.

·Hold down Shift while dragging the center point to move the center point horizontally, vertically, or along a 45-degree diagonal angle. ·Hold down Shift while dragging the rotation handle to rotate in increments of 45 degrees. ·If the transformation mode is set to [Scale] in the [Tool Property] palette, the rotation handle will not show. This is shown when you select other items. |
Free transform an image
If the transformation mode is set to [Free Transform] in the [Tool Property] palette, you can freely transform the image by dragging the handles. You can use this when you want to create the appearance of depth.
