I've been interested in making manga/comics and printing them lately, but it's so hard to figure out what size to make it, and where to cut things off for the trim & bleed lines. After researching and finding templates, I decided to make one that's easy to use in Clip Studio.
This is for manga/comics that are 5.25 x 7.75 inches. Similar to the english Shonen Jump size.
There are no panels/frames here; it's just an image material.
Here's a preview of them. The left and right pages are different because it is taking into account the spine of the book :)
Update: a few more tips that I've figured out!
Dragging the image material in isn't that faithful; you still have to move it around so it's centered on the page. HOWEVER, if you press the "paste selected material to canvas" button, then it will automatically be centered! It will fit perfectly! (Assuming that you're using the preset I recommended)
This is what that button looks like:
I didn't know it existed until recently!
I also recommend turning the grid on, if you haven't used it yet. It will help you make panels!
Personally, I set the number of divisions to 9. I found that this was the best for this size.
Anyway these are just some of the things I've learned! Maybe I should make a separate tips things haha!
