What You'll Learn
Copying and pasting using the lasso tool
To copy and paste using the lasso tool in Ibis Paint X, follow these steps:
First, prepare the illustration you would like to copy. Ensure that every layer is combined. Next, access the Tool Selection window and tap the Lasso tool. You will see the three modes: Set, Add, and Subtract. Select 'Set Mode' to create a selection with one stroke. Now, use the lasso tool to enclose the specific area you want to copy.
With the Lasso tool still activated, go to the Layer menu and select 'Duplicate Layer'. This action will copy and paste only the part surrounded by the lasso tool. You can also use the "Add Layer from Folder" option from the layer menu if you want to copy the entire illustration.
If you want to paste your copied content onto another illustration, go to 'My Gallery' and select the desired illustration. From the Selection Area tool, tap 'Paste'. You can also use the "Copy Pen" to copy a specific part of an illustration or photo and paste it elsewhere.
The lasso tool is a versatile feature in Ibis Paint X, allowing you to fine-tune your drawings by adjusting the placement and size of specific elements. By mastering this tool, you can efficiently copy, paste, and manipulate different parts of your illustrations.

Copying and pasting using the Selection Area tool
To copy and paste using the Selection Area tool in Ibis Paint X, you must first have an Ibis Account, Facebook, or Apple account to sign in with.
The Selection Area tool is located in the Layer menu, and it allows you to copy and paste specific parts of an illustration. To copy, simply tap "Copy" from the Selection Area tool. To paste, return to your gallery, edit the illustration you would like to paste onto, and tap "Paste" from the Selection Area tool.
The Magic Wand and Lasso tool are commonly used in conjunction with the Selection Area tool to make specific selections. To use the Lasso tool, open the Layer window and you will see a small blue dot on the Selection Layer at the top (the layer with the pink background). The part of the image that is selected is shown in blue. There are three modes to choose from at the bottom of the screen: Set, Add, and Subtract. Set Mode creates a new selection with each stroke, Add Mode keeps the current selection and adds a new one with each stroke, and Subtract removes the selected area from the current selection.
The Magic Wand tool is useful for making selections when used with an Undercoat layer. This allows you to easily select the area you want, no matter how many times you clear the selection.

Duplicating layers and folders
To duplicate layers and folders in ibisPaint X, you can follow these steps:
Firstly, it's important to understand what layers are and why they are useful. Layers are like multiple sheets of clear film, similar to those used in anime and cartoons. By separating line drawing, colouring, and the background onto different layers, colours won't mix. This also applies to drawing hair, skin, and clothes. The background in ibisPaint is white, but the layers you draw on are transparent.
To duplicate a layer, go to the layer menu and select "Duplicate Layer". If you want to duplicate a specific area of a layer, use the Lasso tool to enclose the area you want to copy, then go to the layer menu and select "Duplicate Layer" with the Lasso tool still activated.
You can also duplicate all the layers you are viewing by opening the Layer window and selecting "Add Layer from Canvas" under "Add Special Layer". This will create a complete duplication of all the layers.
If you want to duplicate a folder, go to the layer menu and select "Add Layer from Folder". This will create a new layer that is a copy of the entire illustration within the folder.
It's worth noting that the maximum number of layers you can have depends on your device, and as the number of pixels (resolution) of the canvas increases, the maximum number of layers decreases. Additionally, the more layers an image has, the more storage space it will consume. If you are running out of layers or are concerned about storage space, you can merge layers to combine two layers into one.

Adding a layer from the folder
To add a layer from a folder in Ibis Paint X, you must first create an Ibis Account, Facebook or Apple account and sign in. Once you have signed in, you can start using the app.
To add a layer from a folder, you can select "Add Layer from Folder" from the layer menu. This will allow you to add a layer that is a copy of the entire illustration. If you only want to copy a specific part of the illustration, you can use the lasso tool to select the desired area and then tap "Paste".
It is important to organize your layers in advance to quickly find the layer you want to use and improve your work efficiency. You can also rename your folders and give them names to make it easier to understand and find later.
Additionally, when drawing an illustration, it is recommended to separate layers for each part, especially when painting colours. This will help you stay organized and make any desired changes more easily.

Adding a layer from the canvas
To add a layer from the canvas in ibisPaint, you must first have an ibisAccount, X, Facebook, or Apple account. You can then follow these steps:
- Open the Layer window.
- Select 'Add Layer from Canvas' from 'Add Special Layer'. The composed layer will be added to the top.
- Open the Tool Selection window and select 'Filter'.
- Select 'Brightness & Contrast' and adjust the slider until you are happy with the appearance.
- Tap the '✓' button.
- Select 'Gaussian Blur' from the 'Filter' again and adjust the 'Radius' slider until you are happy with the appearance.
- Tap the '✓' button again.
- Open the Layer window and set the Blend mode to 'Screen'.
This will allow you to combine all layers without changing the coloration. It is important to note that the order of the layers is fixed, but you can rearrange them by dragging the 'Reorder handle' up or down.
Additionally, if you import a sketch with dark strokes, it may be difficult to see the lines you will trace over the top. In this case, you can decrease the opacity of the sketch layer to lighten the lines.
