I have been using Illustrator 6 for about a week now and am being driven mad by the new paint bucket. Is there any way that I might revert to the old version of paint bucket? It was alot easier to use.
View 16 RepliesAll those users who have burned their fingers by the latest update to Illustrator 17.1, especially with respect to how the Reshape functionality works or how the Pencil tool behaves, there is a solution. After some digging around, I came across this page: [URL]
In short, follow these steps:
1) Uninstall the application from your computer using the application’s uninstaller. If you are not aware of their location, uninstallers reside in the same folder as your application.
2) From the Creative Cloud desktop application, begin to install any Creative Cloud application by clicking the “Install” button.
3) As soon as the application indicates it is “Updating”, click the “X” to cancel the process.
4) This leaves applications at the same version when Creative Cloud was first launched.
5) Go to the product updates site [URL] and then install the version of the application that suits your needs.
Let's get back to our jobs with 17.0 for now till the time Adobe fixes the mess they created with some thoughtful update in the future!
How do I use the arrow keys with the paint bucket to contain only a select portion of colors from a color group in the swatch panel? I create a color group, but when I arrow right or left, it uses a couple colors, then it jumps all over the place.

Evidently I am not the "power-user" type for whom the GIMP team designed their 2.8 version. I only have about 20,000 photos, and I need to revise the JPGs or preferably work with PNGs. I tried resetting the keybinding to "overwrite," but even so, every time I close a file (about 25 x/day) it warns me that I have unsaved changes--because the GIMP PolitBuro has decided that only XCF is worthy, not my miserable uncompressed PNG (which is what I can use for my academic presentations. Default image viewers in Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu don't read the XCF format).
So I need to revert to version 2.6 in a responsible way (repositories, dependencies, etc) while I wait for a fork to emerge so that I can switch to a full-featured raster editor designed by a less-condescending team of developers.
When I run a preset that I made in LR3.6, the develop Basic panel reverts to the LR3 version. Clicking on "Reset" restores the LR4 version, but undoes what the preset was supposed to do, of course.
How can I make my LR3 presets work in LR4?
On a new layer, I used the line and curve tools to draw the outline of a human figure. I want to fill the shape with a color. However, I can't figure out how to select the entire figure so that I can fill it using the Paint Bucket tool. How can I do that?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been working with Paint.net for a couple of years and have never had this issue before. Suddenly, today, I tried using paint bucket to fill in a square and it filled in the entire image. I don't know if I accidently changed some setting on accident or what. how to make this stop so that the paint bucket only fills in the area I have outlined for it?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI made an outline of an image with the line tool and I read online that it only creates vectors or something. The solutions online told me to rasterize or flatten my layers. So I rasterized them but the paint bucket fills the whole screen with no regards to the lines I made.
Bottom Line: I made an outline using Line Tool, rasterized all my layers, used the paint bucket but the paint bucket covers the entire screen. I'm 100% sure there aren't any "holes" between the line segments btw.
I finally found the paint bucket tool - but when I try to use it, I get the circle w/ the cross in it (like the ghostbusters background )....it didn't work with .tif or .psd files, but it DID work w/ a .jpg file!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am working on a project where I am doing hand drawn rotoscope (think waking life). For larger areas I am drawing the outline and then filling the shape with the paint bucket. The problem is that the fill doesn't go all the way to the edge of the outline. The anti-aliasing on the brush seems to be creating it, but I don't want to turn anti-aliasing off. It will be a huge time saver for me to figure this out.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am used to work with Photoshop. Unfortunately there is a bug in the paint bucket tool of Photoshop CS6. I made all updates up to 13.0.1 (x64).
Description: The paint bucket tool is very tricky to use now. If you want to fill a certain empty area of a picture with a simple color, it often does not do that. My clicks are totally correct, also the position ... but it does not take it. Sometimes I have to zoom in some 100% until my clicks are successful and the desired areas are filled with color.
i recently got back to using my old version of Corel Draw, before i remember being able to draw for example a triangle with the "3 Point Curve Tool" and with the Paint Bucket was able to paint inside.. It was as simple as it sounds, now im trying and the bucket tool doest seem to work and when it does it paints the lines but nothing inside the shape ive drawn with the # Point Curve Tool..
View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to know how to fill an object on a layer using paintbucket and then isolate the fill onto its own layer. I swear I've done this before, but may have been dreaming. I am using a base drawing and would like to overlay fills and have the ability to control what is seen by turning on and off layers of paintbucket without having to duplicate that base drawing. Did that make sense? I am trying to avoid drawing an excessive amount of shapes.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI was trying to go through the blue metal shpere tutorial and I got stuck. I drew mt circle with the marqee tool and then I tried to fill it with a different color.
The paint bucket did put the other color in but it didn't fill it all the way. It was a solid color in the center of the sphere but it started to fade out the further out you went. I just want it to fill in solid not fade. What is the problem here?
using PS CS. i have selected a circular area with the marquee tool on a transparent background and i want to fill that area with colour, using the paintbucket tool i attempt to fill area but what happens when i do this is it acts like a spray can does, dark colour in the centre fading aways towards the edges also it does not actually fill the selected area it's as if i have not selected it, but i have.

View 5 Replies View RelatedOk, this is about as basic as you can get. What would prevent the paint bucket tool from working? Here are the steps I am taking to try to create a web page: Clicked on:
File->New Set 800 x 600, RGB Color, 72 Pix, and Contents is White.
Selected my foreground color and set it to E0EFFF
Clicked Paint bucket Tool
Clicked in the middle of the page.
Nothing happens.
Also tried using the Rectangular Marquee Tool to select an area within the page, and tried using the pain bucket to fill that in, but that didn't work either.
I'm a relative newbie to Photoshop and recently upgraded from 5.5 -> 6.0 (yep I'm new and already behind ). For some reason the Paint Bucket tool does not show up in the Toolbox and I can't figure how to find it. I know its still there because its in the help and I tried all the Shortcuts trying to make it show up but no good. Any ideas how to find the Paint Bucket tool and better yet how do I make it permanent part of the Toolbox again.

Below is an example of what's happening now.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am finding some inconsistencies when using tools provided in Paint.NET.
For 2 examples, I'll simply describe the behavior of the Escape key.
-----------
Exhibit A:
I would like to use Text to type in some letters with different colors. What I would do is press T (shortcut key for Text), select a color, type a letter, press ESC, nothing happened, click somewhere else, click back to the letter, select a different color, type a letter, ESC, nothing happened, repeat...
After I'm done, I press ESC again with nothing happening, and press a different shortcut key to continue editing, like O (shortcut key for Line/Curve).
Exhibit B:
I would like to draw a circle and a line. After finish typing, I press O four times to use the Ellipse tool, draw a circle, and then press ESC. Nothing happened. Next, I press O once to use the Line tool, start drawing a line, and then press ESC. At this point, my drawn line is canceled for good, and I need to either use Redo to recover it, or redraw the line again.
------------
Here I present to you these two exhibits. Notice that sometimes, pressing ESC does nothing other than jumping back to cursor, and sometimes cancelling the action that was done.
Would it be possible if the Escape key has a consistent action throughout all of the tools?
I have been using the bucket tool in order to fill the background of some images, but after a while the color I selected resulted in a different shade. For example, black resulted in grey and so on. What can be the source of this? Have I accidentally selected something which does this?
Another problem I have is about creating rounded corners for an image. I used this tutorial
[URL].......
and it worked great the first few times, but than the area around the corners became white instead of being transparent. I followed the exact steps as in that tutorial but with no effect.
Example: it looks OK, but that's because of the white background of the page, move it to some place which is colored and the white areas appear. Also, is there another, easier way to create this rounded corners?
I made a selection with the magic wand (with the anti-alias box checked), made a new layer, and dumped a color in with the paint bucket (anti-alias box is checked). But, the edges are not anti-aliased. I am running Photoshop CC on Mac OS 10.6.8, and this problem occurred in a .tiff file and a .psd file.
