You can change the size of an image in Clip Studio Paint using the "Change Image Resolution" option.
Here's how to do it:
-
Navigate to the Edit Menu: In Clip Studio Paint, click on the "Edit" menu located at the top of the screen.
-
Select "Change Image Resolution": From the "Edit" menu, choose the option labeled "Change Image Resolution". This will open a dialog box where you can specify the new dimensions for your image.
-
Enter New Width and Height: In the "Change Image Resolution" dialog box, you'll find fields for "Width" and "Height". Enter the desired values for the new width and height of your image. Make sure the units (e.g., pixels, inches, cm) are correct.
-
Adjust Resolution (Optional): You can also adjust the resolution (DPI - dots per inch) here. A higher resolution generally means a sharper image, but it will also increase the file size. Be mindful of your intended use (e.g., web, print) when setting the resolution.
-
Choose Resample Method (Optional): Clip Studio Paint offers various resample methods. These methods determine how the software handles the pixels when resizing the image. Experiment with different methods (e.g., "Nearest Neighbor," "Bicubic," "Lanczos") to see which yields the best results for your specific image and desired effect. "Lanczos 3" often provides a good balance between sharpness and smoothness.
-
Click "OK": Once you've set the desired width, height, and resolution (if needed), click the "OK" button to apply the changes. Clip Studio Paint will then resize your image to the new dimensions.
Important Considerations:
- Upscaling: Increasing the size of an image (upscaling) can result in a loss of quality and pixelation, especially if you increase the size significantly.
- Downscaling: Reducing the size of an image (downscaling) generally preserves quality better than upscaling.
- Maintain Aspect Ratio: To prevent distortion, make sure the "Maintain aspect ratio" option is checked (if available) unless you specifically want to change the aspect ratio.
By following these steps, you can easily change the size of your images in Clip Studio Paint to meet your specific needs.
