Set of auto actions for quick greyscale, reference, and perspective setups.
This set contains 9 auto actions, I'm gonna describe what each of them does and how to correctly use them:
- Greyscale of Canvas
-Use any time.
Creates a greyscale layer on top of your layer hierarchy that makes your entire workspace greyscale as long as that layer is set to be visible. - Greyscale of Selection
-Use only with an active Selection.
Creates a greyscale layer above currently selected layer out of your selection. - Greyscale of Layer
-Use only with active desired layer.
Creates a greyscale layer above currently selected layer out of that layer selection, useful when turning imported reference images into greyscale without touching anything else.
NOTE: If Layer has any transparency, it wont make a perfect greyscale and colors will leak in, in that case it's better to use "Greyscale of Selection" - Comp. ref from Rectangle
-Use only on a new layer after only putting 1 rectangle there using a rectangle sub tool.
Creates a folder with 3 different reference compositions (Rule of Thirds, Golden Section, Railman Ratio) using Rectangle as a Border, by default, only Rule of Thirds is visible and it's set to 30% opacity, adjust and toggle layers to your liking. - Comp. ref from Selection
-Use only with an active Rectangle Selection.
Does the same as "Comp. ref from Rectangle" but creates an outline of selection and uses it as a border.
Can be used on entire canvas by doing following steps: Select -> Select All; Select -> Shrink Selected Area (10px, [x] Shrink at edge of canvas); Comp ref. from Selection
NOTE: Make sure your selection is at least 10 pixels away from any edges of your canvas, else it might not work correctly - Comp. ref from Layer
-Use only with active desired rectangle layer, like a layer with just a reference image on it.
Does the same as "Comp. ref from Rectangle" but creates an outline of selected layer and uses it as a border. Useful on imported images.
NOTE: Make sure your desired layer is at least 10 pixels away from any edges of your canvas, else it might not work correctly.
All of the auto actions below might be computationally too much on clip studio paint and can crash/lag it if you use them a certain way, so be careful and save your files. - Grid of Selection
-Use only with an active Selection.
Creates a grid in 3 separate layers (Border, Horizontal lines, Vertical lines) based on your active selection.
Can be used with Rectangle selection to create a grid useful for transforming using "Perspective" mode, can be used with Ellipse selection to make a grid similar to fish-eye, other kinds of selection may lead to really weird looking results.
NOTE: Make sure your selection is at least 10 pixels away from any edges of your canvas, else it might not work correctly. - Grid of Layer
-Use only with active desired rectangle layer, like a layer with just a reference image on it.
Does the same as "Grid of Selection" but creates an outline of selected layer and uses it as a border. Useful on imported images.
NOTE: Make sure your desired layer is at least 10 pixels away from any edges of your canvas, else it might not work correctly. - Grid of Canvas
-Use any time.
Does the same as "Grid of Selection" but creates an outline on edges of the Canvas and uses it as a border,
