How do you hide layers in Clip Studio Paint?

Published in Clip Studio Paint 2 mins read

You can hide layers in Clip Studio Paint by clicking the "Show/hide layer" icon (eye icon) next to the layer you want to hide in the Layer palette.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

  1. Locate the Layer Palette: The Layer palette is usually docked on the right side of the Clip Studio Paint interface. If you don't see it, go to Window > Layer to display it.

  2. Find the Target Layer: In the Layer palette, locate the layer you want to make invisible.

  3. Click the "Show/hide layer" Icon: To the left of the layer's name, you'll see an eye icon. This is the "Show/hide layer" icon.

    • Clicking the Eye Icon: Clicking this icon will toggle the layer's visibility. If the eye is visible, the layer is visible. If you click it, the eye will disappear, indicating the layer is now hidden. Clicking it again will bring the eye (and the layer) back.

Alternative Method (Right-Click Menu):

  1. Right-click on the layer name in the Layer palette.

  2. A context menu will appear. Select "Show/hide layer" to toggle the layer's visibility.

Key Points:

  • Hiding a layer doesn't delete it. The layer remains in your document, just temporarily invisible.
  • You can hide multiple layers at once by clicking their respective "Show/hide layer" icons.
  • Hiding layers is useful for isolating specific elements of your artwork, making it easier to edit other layers without visual interference.
