To move the canvas in Clip Studio Paint, select the Move tool and then the Hand sub tool, and drag the canvas. Here's a detailed explanation:
Steps to Move the Canvas:
- Select the Move Tool: Locate the Move tool in the Tool palette. It's usually represented by a cursor icon.
- Choose the Hand Sub Tool: Within the Move tool, you'll find various sub tools. Select the "Hand" sub tool. The icon usually resembles a hand.
- Click and Drag: Click anywhere on the canvas with the Hand sub tool selected. While holding down the mouse button, drag the canvas to reposition it within the Clip Studio Paint window.
Alternative Method (Using Keyboard Shortcut):
- Hold down the Spacebar key. This temporarily activates the Hand tool, allowing you to click and drag the canvas. Releasing the Spacebar reverts to your previously selected tool. This is often the quickest and most convenient method.
Troubleshooting:
- Zoom Level: If you're having trouble moving the canvas, make sure you're not zoomed in too far. Zooming in excessively can make small movements difficult.
- Tool Selected: Double-check that you have the Hand sub tool selected within the Move tool.
- Tablet Issues: If using a graphics tablet, ensure your pen is configured correctly and registering clicks properly.
By using either the Move tool with the Hand sub tool or the Spacebar shortcut, you can easily navigate and position your canvas within Clip Studio Paint.
