Freeform gradient
The Freeform gradient tool is in the Contour line paint group under the Gradient tool in the Tool palette.It creates a gradient between two drawn lines, based on the colors of those lines.
The tool can be further refined using the Tool Property palette and the Sub-tool Detail palette.The settings allow you to set a reference type, exclude a color, and adjust gradient tones.
Memo | ·The Freeform gradient tool will not fill properly if the lines were drawn with anti-aliasing.When creating the reference lines, make sure the drawing tool’s Anti-aliasing setting is turned to Off or None. ·Freeform gradient is not available in Clip Studio Paint DEBUT. |
In the Tool property palette, you can configure the processing method for black and transparency and output of the created gradient.
Black
Sets how to process black lines drawn in the layer for painting.
Do not include black: Black lines are recognized as the boundary, but are not recognized as a color.
Include black: Black is treated as a drawing color.The gradient will include black.
Replace black with drawing color: Black lines are recognized as the boundary, but are replaced with the selected drawing color in the created gradient.The color gradiates closer to the drawing color the closer it gets to the black line.
Transparent color
You can set how to treat the transparent area when using Freeform Gradient on an area filled with a single color.When referring to multiple layers, if nothing is drawn on the layer where the Freeform Gradient is applied, that area will be treated as transparency.
Do not include transparency: Transparency is recognized as the boundary, but not recognized as a color.
Include transparency: Transparency is treated as a drawing color.The gradient will include transparency.
Replace transparency with drawing color: Transparency is treated as a boundary line and replaced with the current drawing color.The drawing color becomes stronger the closer the gradient gets to the transparent area.
