Hey there! I noticed that the following blend modes wont draw on transparency and it really bugs me. This function works fine on Photoshop but is severely limited in CSP and it could definitely make for more dynamic brush functionality.
Currently the brush modes that wont paint on transparency are:
Color burn, Black Burn, Lighten, Screen, Color Dodge, Glow Dodge, White Burn, Add, Add (Glow), Overlay, Soft Light, Vivid Light, Linear Light, Pin Light, Hard Mix, Darker Color, Lighter Color, Divide, Hue, Saturation, and Color.
Every other brush blend mode seems to have no trouble drawing on transparent layers so for the most part. This is a feature I would really like to take advantage of but is noticeably lacking in CSP.

4 years agoRather than a bug, I think it is the current specification of "CLIP STUDIO PAINT".
However, this is not clear unless you ask the developer directly.
It is not unusual that there are differences from other software.
For example, if you set the brush of "Sai" of paint software to "multiply" and continue painting without stopping, it will become black.
On the other hand, if you do the same in "Photoshop" or "CLIP STUDIO PAINT", it will not be darkened and will continue to be painted in the same color.
(Raise the brush once and start painting more to make it darker.)
As you can see, the specifications differ depending on the software.

4 years agoThese modes are usually used to alter the pixels beneath them , like quick shading/glow/hue change etc.
I have rarely seen any of my colleagues start drawing with darken or overlay mode ,for example. They use them to "shape" and shade.
You can change a layer blending mode (to those modes) and draw with normal mode brush on it.
It will draw on transparent pixels that way.
There is usually a process of adapting to a new/different workflow in a software.
CSP is no exception.
