Save the right kind of image

The original tutorial recommends saving character sheets and other clear images of a single character, ideally on a blank or white background. Background elements in a character image can influence later outputs.

Ways to save a character

You can save a character by:
  • Right-clicking an image on the canvas and choosing Add to → Character
  • Using the image three-dot menu and choosing Add to → Character
  • Creating a new character from the Characters sidebar

Add to a new or existing character

When you add to Character, Preview lets you:
  • Assign the image to an existing character
  • Create a new character with a name and description
  • Upload additional source images into that character entry
Multi-angle source images usually produce more consistent character results than a single narrow view.
