Clio Infinite Paint - Support

Putting zoom in perspective

When you zoom in or out, it shows a "zoom" number at the bottom. Each number doubles the zoom, so zoom:3 is twice zoom:2, or four times zoom:1. From the entire observable universe down to a single proton is about zoom:140. Clio Infinite Paint supports that, and more!

Why won't it paint over that tiny patch?

When a whole picture has become a tiny dot, Clio protects it from stray brushstrokes. A red ring shows where your stroke was stopped. Horton might say, “A detail's a detail, no matter how small.” You have to zoom into a detailed area before you can overpaint it.

Two ways to take a screenshot

Normal screenshot: captures what's on your screen, controls and all.

Clio's Screenshot command: captures the current view without controls or sparkles, and can capture finer detail than a normal screenshot. Find it under Wrench → Screenshot (or File → Export → Screenshot on Mac).

Downloading

In Safari on iPhone and iPad, anything you download goes into your phone's "Downloads" folder. Find it via the blue Downloads icon in Safari (or the Files app):

Safari's address bar, with the blue download icon beside the address circled in red.

Clio's + button lets you add a copy into Clio's own gallery:

Clio's top bar with the iPhone notch, and the + button at the top right circled in red.

On iPad and iPhone

Undo and redo: tap the canvas with two fingers together to undo, or three fingers to redo.
Picking a color: with a painting tool selected for your finger, hold the canvas until the magnifier appears, then slide and lift to pick a color.
Finger and Pencil: on iPad, your finger and Apple Pencil can each hold a different tool. Tap a tool with whichever will use it: for example, Pencil for drawing and a finger for smudging. The size and opacity sliders will affect the tool you last selected or painted with.
A second brush on iPhone: hold the hand icon and replace it with a brush. (To pan without the grabber, use two-finger pan.)
A fresh tutorial: rename your edited copy (or delete it), then choose + → Tutorial in the gallery. That option is hidden while there's something named "Tutorial"!

On Mac

Zooming and moving: pinch on a trackpad, turn the mouse wheel, or hold Option while scrolling to zoom. Point at the detail you want to zoom into. Hold Space and drag to move without changing tools.
Picking a color: hold Option for quick access to the color picker.
Automation: scripts and AI assistants can paint, import images and make zoom videos in Clio. For the full instructions, run this command in Terminal, or ask an assistant that can run commands on your Mac to run it:
```
osascript -e 'tell application id "com.wischik.clioinfinitepaint" to automation help'
```

File Format

Clio stores its artwork in .cliopaint file format.

Support

Clio is a spare-time project. I'll do the best I can to help or add features, but no promises. Please report bugs in the issue-tracker.
