There is an enclose and fill option in Clip Studio Paint. It has a gap close feature, you can look at it if you wish. thanks for the answer

Sure, Iā€™ll take a look at CSP to see how it works there. Probably it should just treat a region with gaps as if it was closed. I think it would be useful and intuitive to use as well.

Like I said, the main issue was the complexity of the existing tool, but I can definitely give it another shot once we settle on the current implementation.

Hi all! Iā€™m very pleased to announce that the gap closing patch has been accepted to master today.

As usual, big thanks to @dkazakov for the review and many others for valuable comments.

We had to make some compromises and the feature is certainly not perfect, but itā€™s a start. I hope it will already be useful to everyone whoā€™s been waiting for it for so long :smiling_face_with_tear:

Here are the temporary builds from master. Eventually, they will be available in Nightly builds (um, when they get restored!).

Again, the current features are:

  • gap closing up to 32 pixels - larger gaps will be ignored (check the resolution!)
  • only the bucket fill and magic wand selection tools are supported (i.e. no enclose and fill)
  • look in the UI for a ā€œClose Gapā€ slider. Values larger than 0 will attempt to close gaps. Set it back to 0 if you donā€™t need this feature, as it comes with a performance penalty.

If you have a chance to test it and run into a problem, feel free to tag me in your post. I hope we didnā€™t miss any bugs in the last minute as this one did see a significant churn over timeā€¦

Thank you! :partying_face:

Honestly I think the gap to match CSP is smaller and smaller

I want to add here - that gap close is also now enabled in palette drag and drop ;
as seen here . So its something similar to procreate - I think. Its pretty fun.

Again thank you @YRH
