In true Clip Studio Paint fashion, there is ANOTHER method you can use to rename your layers. Clicking on Cancel will discard the name change. Type the new title for the Layer in the “Name” box, then click on OK to complete the name change. Using this menu command will bring up the Change Layer Name window. Move the cursor to Layer Settings, then over to Change Layer Name… This is shown in the following image. This will bring up a small menu in Clip Studio Paint. Type the new name in and press “Enter” to finalize it.Īlternately, you can also perform this operation by right-clicking on the layer. This will turn the existing name text into a text entry box. The easiest way to rename the layer is to double-click on the existing name. But if all the existing layers have been renamed, a new layer will come into existence with the title “Layer 1”. For instance, if I add a new layer to the document in the above screenshot, the new layer will automatically be named “Layer 5” because none of the other layers have names. You can also hold down Ctrl+Shift+N to create a new layer with a keyboard shortcut.Īfter you create a new layer it will show in the Layer palette and will have a default name depending on the layers already in the document. To create a new Raster Layer, click on Layer - New Raster Layer in the top menu bar, or click on the New Raster Layer icon in the Layer Palette. Trying to find the layer you’re looking for when there’s just a stack of “Layer 1, Layer 2, Layer 3, Layer 4” can be frustrating, so try to get in the habit of naming layers as your create them or soon after! This is the easiest way to be able to tell what your layers are, so long as you remember to name the layers as you create them. In this article we will cover the following topics: Especially if you’re like me and forget to name them as soon as you create them! Aside from naming there are a few other ways you can keep your CSP layers organized though, and that’s what we’re going to learn about today. But if you use a lot of layers in your work, it can be difficult to keep them organized. Layers are one of the best innovations in digital art.

Many of you probably know my name from those books, in fact! I was a beta-tester on the Manga Studio 5 program and for Clip Studio Paint, and I have written three books and several video courses about the program.

Hello! My name is Liz Staley and I’m a long-time user of Clip Studio Paint (I started using the program back when it was known as Manga Studio 4!).
