Facial features
These settings allow you to adjust each of the facial features on a 3D head model when selected with the Object sub tool.See details on using these settings in "Adjusting facial features".
(1)Facial features
Select a part of the head on the image to show relevant sliders to the right.Adjust the sliders to change the shape of the parts on the 3D head model.
(2)Apply symmetrically/asymmetrically
For symmetrical features such as the eyes, eyebrows, and ears, set whether to change the settings symmetrically or only the adjust the left or right side.
(3)Reset
Reset the selected feature to the default settings.To reset the entire face, see "Resetting the head model".
Figure
These settings allow you to set the shape when drawing figures or creating selections in a certain shape.
Memo | Some settings are not available when a vector layer is selected. |
(1)Figure
You can set the shape of the figure to Rectangle, Ellipse, or Polygon. For details on how to draw each type of figure, refer to "Rectangles", "Circles", and "Polygon".
(2)Number of corners
Specify the number of sides when Figure is set to Polygon.
(3)Roundness of corner
When turned on, the corners of the figure are rounded off.The slider allows you to configure the roundness.The larger the value, the more rounded the corners.You can set the roundness of corners from How to specify.
(4)How to specify
You can set the method for determining the roundness of the corners to Specify ratio or Specify length.
·Specify ratio rounds the corners proportionally as a ratio (%) of the sides of the figure.
·Specify length rounds the corners as a set distance from the center of the corner.
(5)Line/Fill
You can choose how to draw figures from Create fill, Create line, and Create both line and fill.
·Create Fill draws a figure by filling it with the drawing color.The shape will not have an outline.
·Create line draws the outline of the figure with Line color.
·Create both line and fill draws the outline of the figure with Line color and fills the inside of the figure with Fill color. You can set the line color and the fill color separately.
(6)Line color
When Line/Fill is set to Create both line and fill, you can set the outline color of the figure to Main color, Sub color, User color, or Select user color.
Main color | Tap to use the current main drawing color. |
Sub color | Tap to use the sub drawing color. |
User color | Tap to use the specified color.Tap again to use the current main drawing color as the specified color.Unlike Main color, the specified color will be used even if the main drawing color is changed with a color palette. |
Select user color | You can specify the user color from the Color settings dialog.There is not a button for this setting.You can select it from the menu that appears when you tap the rightmost button. |
(7)Fill color
When Line/Fill is set to Create both line and fill, you can set the fill color of the figure to Main color, Sub color, User color, or Select user color. The settings are the same as the line color.
(8)Aspect type
When turned on, you can select the method of specifying the height and width of the shape to Specify ratio or Specify length. Specify ratio allows you to draw figures with the desired aspect ratio Specify length allows you to draw figures with the length specified by the Vertical and Horizontal sliders.
(9)Horizontal/Vertical
When Aspect type is turned on, you can specify the vertical and horizontal size.The behavior varies depending on the mode in Aspect type. If set to Specify ratio, the sliders specify the ratio of the horizontal and vertical dimensions.If set to Specify length, the sliders specify the length of the horizontal and vertical dimensions.
Fill
The Fill category settings depend on the selected tool or layer.
·"When the Fill tool or Auto Select tool is selected"
·"When a Gradient layer is selected"
·"When a Fill layer is selected"
When the Fill tool or Auto Select tool is selected
These are detailed settings for the range to be filled with the Fill tool as well as the border for creating selections with the Auto select tool.
The Fill tool and Fill category of the Auto select tool have the same settings, but the results are different.The following describes each item using the Fill tool as an example.
(1)Apply to connected pixels only
When turned on, the fill applies to connected pixels of the same color as the clicked point.When turned off, the fill applies to all pixels of the same color on the canvas.
(2)Close gap
When turned on, if there are gaps in the area you want to fill, the fill will still stop at the gaps without spilling from the area.Use the indicator to specify the size that is interpreted as a gap in the lines.
Memo | Depending on your device, setting a large value for Close gap may make the fill or selection process take longer. |
(3)Fill narrow areas
When Close gap is turned on, areas where lines are adjacent to each other are recognized as gaps, so there may be some unfilled areas.When Fill narrow areas is turned on, when a gap smaller than the set value is found, the gap is filled if that area is closed.
This setting can be adjusted when Close gap is turned on.
(4)Tolerance
You can adjust the error margin of color for filling.The larger the value, the larger the tolerance to include areas of colors different to the tapped color.
(5)Area scaling
When turned on, you can enlarge or shrink the original area by the amount of pixels specified by the slider.
(6)Scaling mode
When Area scaling is turned on, you can set the corner shape of the area to Round, Rectangle, or To darkest pixel.
·Rectangle: Determines the area by placing a rectangle on each pixel on the outline of the area to enlarge or reduce.The outline of the enlarged or reduced area becomes sharper.
·Round: Determines the area by placing a circle on each pixel on the outline of the area to enlarge or reduce.The outline of the enlarged or reduced area becomes rounded.
·To darkest pixel: Determines the area with the darkest color (highest opacity) and fills up to that area.
(7)Snap to symmetry ruler
When turned on, the Fill tool will snap to symmetry rulers.In the case of the Auto select tool, the selection area will be created according to the symmetry ruler.
Memo | Snap to symmetry ruler is not available in Clip Studio Paint DEBUT. |
