I work in Storyboard Pro and Clip Studio Paint regularly. SBP has a feature where you can toggle a layer-specific lightbox effect, which lowers the opacity of all layers except the current working layer. When toggled off, everything returns to whatever opacity it was set to originally. This is incredibly helpful for sketching and cleaning up work, allowing quick focus on the active working layer.
I've been trying to see if I can recreate a similar function using Auto Action in CSP but so far without success. Does anyone know how it might be possible to achieve this?

16 days agoIn CLIP STUDIO PAINT, the "Light Table" function is called the "Animation Cels" palette.
You can use the "Animation Cels" palette even if you are not using an animation canvas.
However, only the "Canvas Shared Light Table" can be registered.
The "Layer Comp" function allows you to show and hide layers, but it does not seem to allow you to adjust opacity like a light table.
If you use "Auto Actions", the names of the target layers will be limited, but you can register layer opacity adjustments and layer comp operations.

13 days agoI've continued asking around elsewhere and doing some experiments of my own with no luck so far. I did find out that TVPaint also has this feature and they call it "layer attenuation."
For reference of what the goal is I've attached a gif of this function in Storyboard Pro. You can see how when it is activated, whatever layer is chosen in the layer tray becomes the only layer displayed at full opacity and all other layers are knocked back.
If there's no way to hack this in CSP currently, my hope would be that they would add this function in future versions, since it is incredibly helpful!- English
