To change text in Clip Studio Paint, you need to select the text layer and modify the text using the Tool Property palette. Here's a detailed breakdown:
Steps to Edit Text
-
Select the Text Layer:
- First, ensure that the text layer you want to modify is selected in the Layers palette.
-
Click Above the Text:
- Using the Operation tool (the cursor icon in the toolbar), click directly above the text you wish to edit in your canvas. This action selects the text element for editing. As the reference states, "Click above the letter you want to edit".
-
Edit Text in the Tool Property Palette:
- Once you've clicked the text, the Tool Property palette will display text-related settings. The reference also confirms that "Settings related to text appear on the Tool Property palette, allowing you to edit and retype the text".
- This palette allows you to retype the text, change its font, size, color, alignment, and other properties.
- Here's a table summarizing some common settings you'll find in the Tool Property palette:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Text Field | Allows you to retype and change the actual text content. |
| Font | Lets you select different typefaces for your text. |
| Size | Controls the height of the text. |
| Color | Sets the color of the text. |
| Alignment | Adjusts the positioning of the text (left, right, center, justify). |
| Style | Options for bold, italic, underline, strikethrough. |
| Leading | Adjusts the spacing between lines of text. |
| Kerning | Controls the spacing between specific letters. |
- Confirmation:
- After making your changes, simply click off the text area, or select a different tool to confirm and see the updated text.
Practical Tips
- Preview: The Tool Property palette usually provides a live preview of your changes, so you can see them before committing.
- Layer Order: Make sure the text layer is not hidden behind other layers in the Layers palette.
- Text Tool: Alternatively, after selecting the text layer, you can select the Text tool directly and click anywhere within the text box to begin editing.
- Import Text: If you have a text file that you want to use, you can copy the text and paste it into the text field of the Tool Property palette.
Example
Suppose you have a text layer that says "Hello World" and you want to change it to "Greetings Earth".
- Select the text layer.
- Using the Operation tool, click above the "H" in "Hello World".
- In the Tool Property palette, find the text field and replace "Hello World" with "Greetings Earth".
- Click off the text to confirm the change.
Now your text layer should display "Greetings Earth".
By using these methods, you should be able to easily change text in Clip Studio Paint.
