Paint.NET :: Select Entire Figure So That Can Fill It Using Paint Bucket Tool?
May 19, 2013
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?
Is it possible to fill an area with content-aware using the paint bucket tool? i have been able to fill the exact area I would like to be replaced with a general swatch. perhaps it is possible to create a swatch which uses the content-aware filter?
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.
Does the paintbucket require something specific in order to fill? I am drawing shapes with the pen tool but I can't fill them with the paintbucket. What am I missing and what are the alternatives? Is there a way to fill the pen-drawn shape with textures that will look like topography?
Is there any plugin that will fill in a shape with an entire texture. For example say I have a hexagon shape that I want to fill with a texture, it would take the texture and squeeze, bend and distort it to match the shape of the hexagon.
This ability would greatly speed up texturing UV maps for a model. I have yet to find a single paint program since I had DPaint on the Amiga years ago that has this feature. I've looked thru the plugin list and the closest I found was 'Shaped Gradient' which is exactly what Im looking for but doesn't support textures.
I 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 know this is probably very easy but im somewhat new to photoshop.. basically i am using the paint bucket tool wanting to only fill in the selected area i've created but it's filling the whole page what do i need to do to only fill part of the image i am working on?
Ok, 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.
Well in any other program I've used if i create a selection with the selection tool and fill it, it fills just the selected area, when I click now it fills the selection and thers like a huge AA or feather around it, I turned both off and it's still there, how can I make it just fill the selection? Below is an example of what's happening now.
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've been having an issue with the paint bucket tool; when I fill in an area with the tool it leaves a thin white border between the area and any lines drawn with the paintbrush tool.
(see attachment) how this can be remedied? Since I'm working on a comic and going back over every line filling in the color takes far too much time.
I 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?
GIMP 2.8.6 on Window 8.I used Canvas Size to add a horizontal space at the bottom of a jpeg photo. (I want to use it for a text caption for the photo.) The new space is filled with a checkerboard of small light & dark grey squares.
I used the Rectangle Select Tool to select the new space.I clicked on the Bucket Fill Tool and moved the mouse over the new space. The mouse pointer includes a circle with a diagonal stroke through it, indicating I cannot fill the selected area.
I am wondering if there is a way to use the "select same fill color" and/or "stroke color" for just a group of objects in a document as opposed to document-wide.
First off, I am in RGB mode, with Photoshop Elements 6. I am trying to fill in an area of the business center (the building on the left) in my drawing but it is going over both the door lines and the text on the building. With the student center (the building on the right), it does the same with any of the grey lines (but not the text). And this is all under one layer (They used to be made up of multiple layers but were merged into one). What should I do? Here is a picture of it down below:
In my opinion i think the Ellipse Select Tool could be a little more ellipse (even in a 800% zoom). In this image we see that the ellipse tool starts out as a small square; than it will gradually become a circle. i'm not against it but i do think there should be an option for you to pick, in the Ellipse Select Tool options, between a pixelated circle or a perfect circle.
The same can be said about the Rectangle Select Tool when it is rotated.
I 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!
paint bucket. After drawing with pen, i use paint bucket to fill this object, but all layer be filled with the color, that i used to fill this object. I can't fill what i've drawed (but in Corel i can do that). Besides, sometime I can't fill any object because of uneditable error,
when i try to fill in an object area that i have created with the pen or the rectangle tool etc the paint bucket fills in the entire screen (no i havent left any gaps open), it only seems to work when i fill into marquee tools.
I have a PSPIMAGE file with a plenty of images as different layers. I am adjusting the images having one image "size" as reference (make same width and height). But I could select the multiple images just through layers pallete
whether is possible to select multiple pictures (each in different layer) by using the "pick tool" direct in the canvas (or other means)?
I 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.
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..
