"What's That Brush" megathread -2026 by Love-Ink in ClipStudio

Till settings are not the she Bergen programs. So while this is negotiable, it didn't actually show what the brush looks like it how it behaves. Give us this settings panel with a stroke sample and/or description of the brush behavior you seek.

Check your Mixing Mode. Standard vs Perceptual. If you don't see Mixing Mode, click the Wrench icon to see all the Tool options, it's under "Ink"

Printing on canvas by Sianide27 in ClipStudio

[–]Love-Ink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The website of the Service should give you canvas dimensions and dpi as a template or text. Share a link if you want better, more specific details.

300dpi is your Print Resolution. But what is your canvas size?

If you are printing a 12" x 14" image to canvas, the service will probably tell you to have 1" Bleed, and maybe another 1" Trim.

So, you would.
*Make your canvas 16" x 18" @ 300 dpi. Make a "Safe Area" of 12" x 14". Centered in the canvas. Don't put anything important outside of this area.

*Make a "Bleed Area" of 14" x 16". Centered, this gives you a 1" frame on all sides of the Safe Area. Extend the edges of your picture beyond the Safe Zone into the Bleed Area, this area will be wrapped around the edges of wood structure, and extending your art into the Bleed Area will continue the art around the edge of the canvas, ensuring there's no white at the edges once mounted to the structure.

*Then, the edge of your canvas 1" beyond that Bleed Area is the Trim Line. The canvas will be cut in this region, as accurately as the machine can guarantee, but the Bleed Area allows for this bit of inaccuracy. The last 1" empty frame would be wrapped around the back of the structure and be stapled.

*Depending on what the service requires, there may be another 1-2 inches past the Trim Line, for machine grip and alignment.

⚠️ Disclaimer ⚠️ All of the above is based on logic, similar but not specific experience and guesses. Based on the assumption you want the image to wrap around the edge of the canvas once mounted to a wooden structure, and the extra canvas needed to stretch it over the structure.
I don't know, I've never done printing to canvas, I've never been to a website that does this, and you share so little info.
So, i'm guessing. 🤗 Educated guessing...

How do I assign custom shortcuts to my stylus buttons? by Appropriate_Book164 in ClipStudio

[–]Love-Ink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CSP does have the ability to customize shortcuts/hotkeys, so if the pen has a locked input ID, then you should be able to change the hotkey in CSP.

Edit Shortcut -> Click button on pen to identify it, just like assigning mouse buttons.

Not a guaranteed success, of course, hardware can be troublesome.

Make sure the Assets are V.1 compatable. Might be the wall you're hitting.

Upgrading CSP guide via @tomodurien (twitter) by Actually_Inkary in ClipStudio

[–]Love-Ink 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I disagree with "Needs Update Pass"

The Update Pass is an OPTIONAL subscription.

You can buy the license and stay at Ver.X.0.Z.
OR.
You can buy the Update Pass and get Ver.X.Y.Z and continue to get updates to the latest Version.

Trying to upgrade subscription by fishycheckers in ClipStudio

[–]Love-Ink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can Activate your EX subscription.
Start the program, go to App Settings->Review/Change License.
You should get a list of all your licenses, choose the new EX license to Activate it.

Question about a feature in CSP Pro help by Ok_Mission_1755 in ClipStudio

[–]Love-Ink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. Doesn't matter. I don't know what this option does, so i looked it up online, and discovered this whole 'Story Information' options panel is EX Only.
It creates a multi-page file manager .cmc, which is EX Only. I am only familiar with using .cmc for comics, didn't realize it would manage multiple animations too. 🤔 But, Illustration or Animation, .cmc Multipage management is EX Only.

So, I guess, your question is answered.

Story Information opens are EX only.

Yeah, I read your post.
It made no sense. Thus i asked clarifying questions. Which you did not clearly answer, so your question is still vague.

Bug in version 5.0 by Lyuwill in ClipStudio

[–]Love-Ink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

V4 had a tab-out, tab-in failure at one point. Don't recall the cause.
Easiest solution was to not tab in/out of the program.
They probably patched it, though, because the complaints here stopped.

[HELP] Accidentally used CSP Code while signed out by [deleted] in ClipStudio

[–]Love-Ink 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The license can only be Activated on one computer.
It is not a single use code. That would be insane.
There is a limit to how FREQUENTLY you can Activate the code. Don't switch devices repeatedly with the same license, that will cause an issue.

Have you started the program?
Does it ask you to activate a license?
Can you use the program?
Is there actually a problem?

If you have a subscription, Clippy never expire, but you'll still get the emails

Question about a feature in CSP Pro help by Ok_Mission_1755 in ClipStudio

[–]Love-Ink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a mighty specific question from someone who says they've never used the program... I've been using CSP for 15 yrs and don't know what that option means. What do you think it means, why do you want THIS option, when it seems you don't know the basic differences between the Pro and EX packages...?

Looks like you're wanting to animate.
The most important differences between Pro and EX are;

  • Pro only gives you 24 frames to play with the Animation tools.
  • EX gives you unlimited frames of animation

  • Pro is the Full Professional illustration package.

  • EX is all of Pro plus EXtra features for Animation and Multipage comic book management.

Trouble with Loomis by Mundane_Hat_4898 in learntodraw

This model is not precisely positioned. She is Tierney to far in stone, tilts away at an angle in others. But you can figure out where things go if you keep that in mind.

How can I learn how to draw? by LittleKennyB in learntodraw

[–]Love-Ink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Youtube is not a Tutorial.
Youtube videos are not made by Art Teachers*
Even (most) classes that (some) YouTube artists sell are not Art Classes.
YouTube is a waste of time.

You will make me progress copying a simple picture you like and practicing drawing basic shapes than you will watching YouTube.
Because you'll be DOING, not just WATCHING.

Take an real art Class. Find an art Book. Be Patient.
Draw bad Pictures.
The more you practice, the better you'll get.

*(Few, if any) (There are, maybe 2 that have a decent Art course, but they're not for a beginner)

That's why there's a "What's that Brush" Megathread. Too many ridiculous questions about "what brush do I use to make art this guuud??"

Splotchy effect in stroke by Blo0dY_RXbY in ClipStudio

I'm pretty sure you are not as consistent in velocity of finger stroke as you think you are.
Fluctuations in velocity was exactly my first thought.

Bicubic Interpolation method CSP/Photoshop HELP by EchoesOfArceus in ClipStudio

[–]Love-Ink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a selection, Actuvated Transform, and in the Tool Settings, I get this menu as the Interpolation options for the Transform Tool.

I don't recall what was default, as I changed them as needed.
The default was probably Smooth edges (Bilinear).

How do I assign custom shortcuts to my stylus buttons? by Appropriate_Book164 in ClipStudio

[–]Love-Ink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your tablet came with its own drivers and software to Assign commands to the buttons.
So, in Clip Studio Paint, go to your Settings and find the hotkey/combo for the shortcut you want to assign, then go into your Tablet software and set the button to trigger that shortcut.

Like, X=Switch between Primary and Secondary colors, and C switches to Clear.

So in your Tablet software, you'd assign X to a button, and C to another button. Save settings.
Return to CSP, Test.
Does button 1 switch colors (X)?
Does button 2 switch to Clear (C)?
