You can easily rotate the canvas in Clip Studio Paint using the View menu, the Move tool, or touch gestures on supported devices like the iPad.
Rotating your canvas can help you draw from different angles, check proportions, and make inking or coloring easier. Clip Studio Paint offers several straightforward ways to achieve this.
Methods for Rotating Your Canvas
Based on the provided information, here are the primary methods for rotating your canvas:
1. Using the View Menu
This method allows for specific, preset rotations and inversions.
- Navigate to the main menu bar at the top of the screen.
- Select the [View] menu.
- From the dropdown, select [Rotate/Invert].
- Choose the desired rotation method from the sub-menu (e.g., Rotate 90 degrees clockwise, Rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise, Reset Rotation).
2. Using the Rotate Sub Tool (Move Tool)
This method provides more freehand control over the rotation angle.
- Go to the [Tool] palette.
- Select the [Move] tool (often looks like four arrows pointing outwards or a hand).
- In the [Sub tool] palette (usually located below the Tool palette), select the [Rotate] sub tool.
- Click and drag directly on the canvas. The canvas will rotate as you drag your mouse or pen.
3. Using Touch Operation (e.g., iPad)
If you are using a touch-enabled device like an iPad, you can often use intuitive touch gestures.
- When using the touch operation for rotation on an iPad, the canvas will rotate accordingly using standard multi-touch gestures (typically pinching or rotating two fingers on the screen).
By utilizing these methods, you can efficiently adjust your canvas view to suit your drawing needs at any point in your workflow.
