Surface updates and help request for Clip Studio Paint

Ciao Patrons, I am writing to you with a strong headache because after sent Gialuca the new page, I spent 3 days configuring and learning to use the Surface Pro and my head exploded! XD Maybe I exaggerated doing everything together, but the initial things were important, I didn't understand something right away and I had to come up with solutions.

For example ... when I signed up with Microsoft to activate my account, the date of birth required day, month and year, with two digits. In the year I wrote 77 ... and automatically 2077 appeared !!       What the...!?  XD  

Of course it was telling me it was wrong as a year, but I couldn't change anymore! You can only write the last two digits ... I have no idea why it gave me by default 2077 and not 1977 ... and then I was stuck, I could not go back ç_ç

So ... after 15 minutes ... I decided to do from cell phone and there I succeeded. On Tablet I entered the user and password generated by the mobile phone and logged in. 

I mean, things like that...

Then, I installed Clip Studio Paint ... although right now I would like to call it Clip Studio Pain.

To begin with I found that it is possible to install it with the same serial number on two devices, but it must be used on one at a time and this is good indeed... since with IPad you have to pay 23 euros a month, my friend Nekucciola, an Italian comic artist my dear friend, told me, she in fact has an IPad Pro and she has paid it.

But the thing that drove me crazy, and burst my head, is that for 2 days I have not been able to understand where and how to release the EDGE KEYBOARD that all tablet owners can use! This is a toolbar that contains the keyboard shortcuts to customize (F1 F2 F3 ...) and shortcuts such as Ctrl Alt Shift to use with touch, since it is a tablet.

I swear to you that I'm going crazy because I can't find it! I have read the whole manual ... in English, because you don't exist in Italian, and seen all the tutorials about. Is easy for everyone...I can't find it!

The second photo you see was sent to me by Nekucciola, I highlighted the bar.

Basically it must appear by swiping your finger from right to left off the screen but it doesn't work for me, nothing appears. Or a tab should appear, to be pulled, but it is not there. I explored everything, I don't know if it is an error of the version I've installed or of Windows 10.

A little while ago I wrote a message on Clip Studio Ask explaining my problem, I hope to receive a reply.

If you have Clip Studio on Windows like me could you help me and show me how to do this .. magic? XD 

I stop for today, I will take one step at a time to learn how to use this new computer, and in the meantime I will continue to draw the new pages on the old one.

Ah, yes of course, I did the unboxing video ... with bad English and some mistakes of course !! XD 

I said, for example, the word dock and docks instead of USB ports ... because in my head I know that I have to buy a docking station , I always think about it XD

What is it for? Well to have more USB ports of course, but also to connect the second HUION monitor where I can work big as always, as well as small when I carry the surface around.

I'll correct my mistakes with a subtitle when editing.

But now I stop here, I have to make a couple of purchases on Amazon, important for working on the Surface. One is the transparent protective film, paper feel, because I don't have the courage to draw ... fort, I'm too afraid of scratching the glass monitor, so I'm not using the pen as usual, I'm limiting strength and speed because I want to first have the protection to move with ease with the pen. I'm using it like a feather! 

The second purchase is one of those giant mousepads, big to cover the table on which to place the surface, because, in the same way, I don't want to ruin it, scratching the back surface or placing my weight on a hard surface. It's a kind of placemat, it rolls up, I can carry it around.

Then I will buy other things but I will show them to you later.

This is the year of the renewal, after many years I want to be able to work in an updated workstation and without problems for the next 10 years!

Another thing that needs to come is the fiber! I can not wait! 


Thank you all for helping me make this possible with your support!


Baci.

That's wonderful! :D It'll be great if those items arrive either on the 26th or 27th. ^w^

Thank you!! Thank you so much for the advice, I have also been using Clip Studio for many years, since it was called Manga Studio. But you know ... being a Japanese software ... it is normal that it is impossible to understand immediately and everything, since it is created by alien minds LOL so an English translation is not enough, you need to have their brains to understand it 100% XD

Vanessa San

Thank you!! :D

Thank you!! What you say about the pen is true, but in fact it happens that the tip of the pen became sculpted and creates sharp angles, those can leave marks on the surface because these montiors are often treated with a protective patina. At least that was the situation with the Cintiq monitor, they said it had a finishing patina on the glass, which would leave marks if removed with the tip of the pen. So to rest assured ... I'll put it on. I took it opaque for not having reflection when there is sunlight.

Right now I'm responding to you on the surface! XD So I did it! XD I ordered the large mouse pad as a base, the bag, and the protective film, they will arrive between 26 and 7 April! :D

Dang~! O_O I'm sorry to hear the minor hiccups you've been having with the set up of the Surface tablet, and installing Clip Studio onto the computer as well. @-@ However I hope you're able to find help with the Clip Studio program. :) And I wish you luck on buying the screen protector and mouse pad for your new computer as well, Vanessa. ^_^

yeah I been using clip studio on windows for.....6 years now? and still it is very confusing til this day. I don't know about setting keys on ipad tablets but on draw tablets (might be different or the same) but i would try to sync the "File" "shortcut settings" in clip studio and hotkey what you need from there. Dont think this will help but i hope it brings you closer to an answer. And as always I thank you for the content and your hard work

Sorry about the issues. I know Microsoft has had some site issues the past few days so that probably caused the year issue. I'll do some research with Clip Studio and see what I can find. I'm at work at the time of writing this so I'll PM you later with what I find out. It could be a settings issue. With the Surface being a 2-in-1 programs don't always realize you're on a tablet and need a little tweaking. Don't worry about the mistakes in the video. English is not your first language so it's understandable. My mom knows 3 languages and has been living in the US for over 20 years and still struggles from time to time. While I always recommend screen protection for devices, there is exactly 0 chance the pen will scratch the glass. The tip is a weaker material than the glass and will wear out long before it would scratch the screen. This year is the start of great new things for you! It only get better from here.

I'm glad that you finally got your new tablet, Vanessa ^^ Don't stress out too much! I don't own a tablet, so I can't really help, but hopefully someone else will. Good luck!
