CSP Palette Companion

Windows app for Clip Studio Paint PRO/EX. Reads pixels from CSP and writes a major/minor palette as an Adobe Color Swatch (.aco) you drag onto CSP's Color Set palette.

CSP Palette Companion after an extraction

Window 460 x 620. Closing hides it to the tray; Exit is in the tray menu.

Sources

Source Requires
Canvas — whole visible canvas Companion canvas capture, on by default
Layer — active layer Clipboard capture. Deselect in CSP first.
Selection · Canvas — merged visible pixels inside the selection Clipboard capture plus an Auto Action
Selection · Layer — selected pixels on the active layer Clipboard capture. A canvas-sized result is rejected.

Workflow

  1. Open a document in CSP.
  2. CSP: File > Connect to smartphone (Datei > Mit Smartphone verbinden…) — a toggle, so selecting it while on turns Companion Mode off.
  3. Companion: Connect. It scans for the QR code until it connects or you select Stop.
  4. Pick a source and the major/minor counts, then Extract palette.
  5. Drag the green Add card onto CSP's Color Set palette.
