Some people watching my video were curious as to how I managed to adjust a certain area of my image when the image is painted on many layers.I do it using ctrl + shift + c.

1 question, could you just hide the background layer by clicking the "eye" on that layer?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, you could. This is just for if your layers are very messy or if you're like me, since I paint background and character on the same layer.

Ah, you have achieved such wacom prowess as painting character and background on the same level! Huzzah!

Oh neato. If I ever get any good at painting, this could come in handy. So on behalf of everyone who already is any good at it, thanks!

Turning the background layer off should do the trick eh

Wow thank you, I've been wondering about this as well

and what about hiding the BG and then doing CTRL + SHIFT + C? after you moved your selection, you reveal the BG again intact.
at least, in theory

Yes, I should have put that in. XD
I don't normally do that since I paint my character and background on the same layer.

hey.. thanks for sharing..
just wondering.. if i turn off the background first before using the ctrl+shift+C, will the problem with the background solved?? since it only copies the visible layers...

You could also just turn off the background when you do the ctrl+shift+c. At least in this example that might have been a good idea. c:

Ah, sorry. c:
I see now that you've already answered quite a few other people who said the same thing.
Beautiful tutorial, anyway. Thank you. <3

This is handy, thank you! Also, your video was very helpful to me. I tend to work on small detailed areas at a time, while you do a broad shad and lightening of the whole work. I think it helps with the cohesion of the painting. I'm going to try this myself.
Thanks for posting it!

Wow, didnt know it, thanks a lot! ^^

I was one of those people.
I assume the equiv is apple + shift + c
Also, what happens to the original layers before they were merged? Do they turn off?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
They stay there. Now you just have an additional layer with all the others merged to it and the section of the painting that you want.
