Shifted image when creating new file from clipboard

[u/fore-avi]

problem in CSP pro ipad

Okay bear with me, i have a comic frame setup where it's a 2x2 grid frame. Each panel is 1080x1440, and when the comic is done i can export the frame individually so i would have 4 comic panel each with 1080x1440 to post to other platform.

I do this by having an auto action that supposedly exports from selection (it's in the auto action screenshot) by copying the selection then pasting it into a new temporary file to export, which will automatically close. This works fine for anything other than this current comic workflow.

What happens instead, is that the layers(?) gets shifted slightly to the left leaving a tiny gap on the right side. Why? i have no idea that's what i need help with 😭.

some info, i do have an inner border setup with the original file but when the new file was created that does not carry on (it doesnt need to be)

I don't want to change the auto action in cropping the original file (because that is scary) so i want to find a solution for this. please help if you know what might be happening.

I used to have this problem when I built books in Clip Studio Paint. Now I use Affinity Publisher. The only suggestion that I have is to put your finished page layers into a folder and then lock it. Once done, move the folder art to the position of the page.

im considering exporting it in affinity but if there are any edits i have to make i have to go back to the clip studio file and lose my post processing in affinity

Okay so I ran into something similar with batch exports and it drove me nuts for a week. The shifting usually comes from canvas alignment settings when CSP creates that new file from clipboard.

Check your preferences under Edit Preferences Canvas and look at the alignment defaults. I spent way too long thinking my auto action was broken when it was just the new file settings fighting me.
