Filling a region
Filling regions or layers is an alternative to brushing on colors or patterns.
Making a selection prior to applying a fill, and setting appropriate options, can
spell the difference between a humdrum effect and a spectacular one.
The Fill Tools flyout on the Tools toolbar includes two tools for filling
regions with color and/or transparency: Flood Fill and Gradient Fill. In
addition, you can use the Edit>Fill command to apply either a color or pattern
fill. As with paint tools, if there is a selection, the Fill tools only affect pixels
within the selected region. If you’re operating on a shape or text layer, the
Gradient Fill tool can be used to adjust the interior of the object(s) on the layer.
Flood and pattern fills
The Flood Fill Tool works on Background and standard layers, replacing
an existing color region with the foreground color. How large a region is
"flooded" with the fill color depends on the difference between the color of the
pixel you initially click and the color of surrounding pixels.
To use the Flood Fill Tool:
1. Select the Flood Fill Tool from the Tools toolbar's Fill Tools flyout.
2. Set tolerance and layer fill options on the context toolbar.
A pattern can be applied as a fill from the context toolbar by
picking a Pattern (click the thumbnail) from the gallery, then
choosing the Fill drop down list to be "Pattern".
3. Click with the tool where you want to start the fill.
The Edit>Fill command lets you flood-fill a region on a standard layer using any
color, not just the foreground color. On the other hand, it’s strictly a solid color
flood without the subtleties of the Flood Fill Tool’s properties. Simply choose the
command to display the Fill dialog.
