Create file object

Imports an image file as a file object layer. File object layers are layers used to load files such as images and movies into Clip Studio Paint.

Unlike standard layers, the file remains in its original state when referred to as a layer by Clip Studio Paint.

The file object layer cannot be edited in the working file, but it can be updated after being edited in the original file.

You can import the following image file formats: CLIP STUDIO FORMAT (extension: clip), BMP, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, Targa, Adobe Photo­shop Document (extension: psd), and Adobe Photoshop Big Document format (extension: psb).

1Select the [File] menu > [Import] > [Create file object].

2In the dialog box, select the file to be added and click [Open].

3The selected image file will be imported as a file object layer.

·Files for file object layers are referred to by Clip Studio Paint files. The file object layer will not be displayed correctly if the save location of the reference file or the file object layer has changed. In this case, re-import the file to display it correctly. For information on importing, see "Change file of file object". ·When you import a Clip Studio Format file (extension: clip) in which a timeline is enabled, you can select the frame to be displayed in the [Tool Property] palette by selecting the file object layer with the [Object] tool.
