RindrawMoving from Clip Studio Paint to Rindraw
Rindraw doesn't open .clip files, but Clip Studio Paint saves a copy of any page as a Photoshop file, and that comes into Rindraw with its layers, masks, blend modes and folders.
Step by step
- Save a copy as a PSD. In Clip Studio Paint, choose File › Save Duplicate › .psd (Photoshop Document). Save Duplicate leaves your
.clipas it was. - Open it in Rindraw. Send it to Rindraw with AirDrop or the share sheet, or save it to Files and choose Import in Rindraw's gallery, where you can pick a whole stack of files at once. Each file becomes a drawing of its own.
What comes with you
Rindraw reads each layer's pixels, name, opacity, blend mode, visibility, clipping, locks and mask, in their groups, at the file's resolution and in its color profile.
| From Clip Studio Paint | In Rindraw | How |
|---|---|---|
| Raster layers | Yes | with names, opacity, blend modes, clipping and visibility |
| Layer folders | Yes | as groups |
| Layer masks | Yes | |
| Vector layers | As pixels | Clip Studio Paint turns them into pixels when it exports |
| Text and balloons | As pixels | |
| Brushes (.sut) | No | Rindraw doesn't read them; it has its own, and reads Photoshop, Procreate and MyPaint brushes |
| Frames, rulers, 3D models, animation timeline | No |
Going back
Rindraw saves drawings as layered PSD files, which Clip Studio Paint opens, so a page can go back for lettering or panels.
Questions
Can Rindraw open .clip files?
No. Save a copy from Clip Studio Paint as a PSD with File › Save Duplicate › .psd, and Rindraw opens that with its layers, masks, blend modes and folders.
Do Clip Studio Paint's vector layers stay vectors?
No. Clip Studio Paint turns vector layers into pixels when it exports a PSD, so they come into Rindraw as pixel layers.
Can I use my Clip Studio Paint brushes in Rindraw?
No, Rindraw doesn't read .sut brushes. It has 304 brushes of its own and imports Photoshop (.abr), Procreate and MyPaint brushes.
