How to fill a layer with the color?

I know that I can draw a rectangle the size of the layer and then fill the rectangle, but can I just set the color of a layer "background"?

If you want this color "background" to print or export, you need to draw the rectangle.

If you don't want to print or export, you can use the option simulate a colored paper in the transparency in all documents options upward. Set just two boxes of opacity of the same color grid.

  • Fill the layer with the color

    pse13 I am filling the layer.  The layer has a small rectangle on it and nothing else.  When I fill the layer, it fills the whole canvas, not only the rectangle!  It's used to work!

    1. Go to file > new > empty file. Type w, h and the resolution, & background color. It's the Web.
    2. Set up the fixed size Rectangle tool, enter w & h dimensions of the rectangle
    3. Use the paint bucket tool to fill the rectangle with the color of choice as determined by the foreground color chip.

  • How to name a layer with the filename - script or action?

    Hi all

    Can someone tell me if it is possible to automatically name a photoshop layer as the name of the file itself?

    I have 600 cases to do and need to automate the process.

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Open ExtendScript Toolkit that can be found here: -.
    PC: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe utility
    MAC: /Applications/Utilities/Adobe utilities

    Copy and paste the code into a new window, and then save the code: -.
    PC: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS #\Presets\Scripts
    Mac:-[hard disk] / Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS #/ Presets/Scripts /.

    If photoshop is open, close and restart it so that Photoshop can pick up the new script.

    Now you can create an action to run the script and your backup to make this action can be processed by batch.

    To add the script to your action:
    File - Scripts - select the script (this will add the new layer)

  • How to fill a layer with frames?

    I have a new layer consisting of 540 "frames" (not yet technically frames, only the first is a framework. "It's like a default layer in a new project).

    How can I select the whole layer so I can transform all its 'frames' key frames?

    I know I can drag-select, but it takes time until it reaches the 540e framework.

    Shift-click on image 2 and while you hold down the SHIFT key click 540 (to select the frame), right click, click on convert (NO insert) to keyframes (or convert to blank keyframes).

  • Keyboard shortcut for fill with the color layer are opposed on my PS CS6 OSX install help?

    Hi all

    I'm kinda a noob and following a tutorial... and found something strange and I wonder if you could help me understand what is happening.

    I have Photoshop CS6 extended on a macbook pro (late 2011).

    I am running OSX v 10.7.5

    I'm the long and the instructor has added a new layer. I did it.

    He then filled the white layer which is its background color (it has foreground black, white background). I have same evidence / background colors.

    Now I thought on mac to fill with the foreground color, you hit Apple + Delete and to fill it with the background, press Option + delete

    It's the exact OPPOSITE for me. I hit Apple + DELETE (or even BACKSPACE) and filled it with my background color, which is white

    If I hit Option + DELETE (or RET.), filled it with my foreground color.

    I tried searching in the area of keyboard shortcuts change... but I do not see these settings anywhere.

    I have an external keyboard plugged into my mac. It is a 3rd party one, but seems otherwise never function normally.

    Keyboard here is: http://pckeyboard.com/page/UKBD/UB40P4A

    Any suggestions why my shortcut keyboard for a fill with the color layer could be reversed?

    Thanks in advance,

    CC

    You can set the polygon tool to 3 sides, or use the pen tool.

  • Photoshop opens the dialog box when you try to fill a layer with locked transparent pixels

    This script should set the layer to lock transparent pixels and then fill the layer with a color. She is doing this, except when it is in the filling phase, it opens the dialog box fill, and you have to hit OK.

    If you omit the transparent pixel line, it works as not expected, no dialog boxes.

    Is there a way to remove the box? Or I'm doing something wrong, which is causing the box to open?

    #target photoshop
    app.bringToFront();
    
    doc = app.activeDocument;
    doc.artLayers[0].isBackgroundLayer = false;
    doc.artLayers[0].transparentPixelsLocked = true;
    app.activeDocument.selection.fill(app.foregroundColor); 
    

    Not sure why this is happening.

    But I would recommend blocking the above and using the AM code for a fill that pays tribute to transparency.

    #target photoshop

    app.bringToFront ();

    doc = app.activeDocument;

    doc.artLayers [0] .isBackgroundLayer = false;

    doc.activeLayer = doc.artLayers [0];

  • Colorize hair with the color stays layer VS. Paintbrush?

    I am a tutorial and would like to change the color of hair of someone, if I do a color balance adjustment layer, change the color, press option DELETE and then paint the hair with white to make this color to come back. How is - it all different only get the Brush tool to paint on a new layer and paint on the hair? Is not the same result and a little easier?

    Thank you.

    What do you mean by "reduce the contrast of the affected areas."

    If an image (or region) has a lighter value and more dark value overlaying an area with a color even with reduced opacity would result in the difference between these values become smaller.

    How to access the tab 'Save all' when I close several jpeg files that have been adjusted with the "color adjust tool? He is currently making me close and save one at a time.  I've just upgraded to El Capitan.  Thanks for any help :)

    I assume that you use the application overview.

    I can't find an answer to back up everything, but a workaround could be while the file menu options are visible, press the option key

    and the point of the window will become close, if you click on that dialogue will ask you if you want to restore the changes or save

    pressing Save will close the image with the changes and then move to the next image and so on.

  • How can I replace or modify the colors in this image, to preserve transparency (resulting in different colors, where the colors meet)?

    It is a series of using channels to make choices and requires that each color you want to select a slightly different way to select colors. for example, to select, I illustrate how to get red of this image:

    I just realized that you don't have turn off the layers.

    Cmd/Ctrl-clicking on the icon of the Green chain to get this catalog it will be reversed of what you want, but don't worry about this now.

    CTRL/cmd-shift click on the blue channel:

    At this point, press ctrl/cmd-shift-i to invert the selection. Ctrl/cmd-alt/opt-SHIFT-click the icon of the red chanel will:

    You now have a selection of just the Red areas. Make new layer and who fill it with the color you want. Do this for all the other colors you want to isolate. you have to play to see what combinations of selections will work with each.

  • How to fill a column with numbers and maintain when adding or deleting lines?

    So far, I've discovered two ways to fill a column with the number:

    1. Enter '1' in a single cell, '2' in the one below, select both, and then use the yellow dot to drag down - it will do the rest.

    2 create a formula such as 'A2 + 1' and drag also.

    However, in both cases it will work if I manually this continues to do for each newly added line at the bottom. Now, that alone would not be that big of a problem if it wasn't for the fact that I'm working with a table where the lines can be added among other rows in the future.

    Having said that, could someone please tell me how to create a column with a number that will increase automatically? I mean - if I add a new line between line 56 and 57, I want the new line to have a '57"in it, and the" old 57 "would now be"58"and so on." " I don't want to drag the whole column, which can be hundreds if not more than a thousand lines.

    Try to put this in the cells in the column:

    = ROW()

    In the formula, you can add or subtract a number if necessary to get the starting number that you need.

    Or you can choose the pen tool (g), set the padding to zero and the race to what you want, then draw a path, then press U twice to reveal all of the properties that have been changed for the layer, and then click Add (top-right) and select Connect the tracks.

    To make the race work just animate the start or end point and sent to paint on original or reveal original or normal.
