Paint Bucket tool paintings full Page

In Photoshop CC 2015, when I draw something Freehand, say a circle, so do not using the shape tool, & I then want to colour it with the paint bucket tool it covers just the whole page in color, including the circle. I have no idea why it does this when I click on the inside of the circle. It's a totally closed circle, so not to allow color to escape gaps and cover page. I tried different approaches and have installed the latest updates of PS CC 2015. I don't know that I used this tool in the past with no problems. I also PS Elements installed on my computer and the photo bucket tool works very well with it, so I don't think it can be a user error. Does anyone know why it does not for me in PS CC 2015? Thank you very much.

Hi hotpotato,

Please try and reset the Photoshop preferences.

Steps to follow:

To re-create the Photoshop preferences files, start the application while pressing Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Windows) or command + Option + shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop settings file?"

Reference: preference file works, names, places | Photoshop CS5

In addition, to check the workflow: helps Photoshop | Fill and stroke, layers, and paths selections

Let us know if it helps.

Kind regards

  • Rounded corners and paint bucket tool

    Hello everyone. First of all, I should mention that I'm kind of a newbie with PS, so go easy on me.

    I have been using the bucket tool to fill the bottom of a few images, but after a while the color I selected resulted in a different shade. For example, black lead in gray, and so on. What can be the source of this? I accidentally selected something that does?

    Another problem I have is to create corners rounded for a picture. I used this tutorial http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/blogs/posts/archive/2008/09/03/round-corners-in-pho toshop.aspx and it worked great the first few times, but the area around the corners became white instead of transparent. I did tell them apart exactly as in this tutorial, but without effect.

    Example: it looks ok, but it's because the white background of the page, move it to a place that is colored and white areas appear.

    Also, it is average another, easier to create the rounded corners?

    Thank you for your time.

    When the paint bucket tool is active, look at the Options bar. Maybe the opacity is less than 100%. If you are you pour the paint into a layer above that is sampled, then perhaps the opacity of the layer or fill is less than 100%.

    For rounded corners, draw a path, not a shape, with the rounded, Rectangle tool, and then simply add a vector mask that contains the path of your image layer. To add the virtual computer, target the layer and mask path access then Cmd/Ctrl-click on the Add button at the bottom of the layers panel.

  • Question on the paint bucket tool and the magic wand tool

    I try to learn Marie-illustration with PS

    I have a few question, since I'm new on this

    cartoon1.jpg

    first on the paint bucket tool, theres you can see, first of all I do preview, then fill with the pot of paint, but as you can see it, theres always have white line

    so I have to manually paint to fill the white line, is theres no adjustment so the filling does not leave any white line?

    the 2nd issue is on the quick magic wand tool

    cartoon2.png

    cartoon3.jpg

    I make selection to expose and make new layer that fills with a color

    but as you can see, for example, I use red.

    theres a red leak, so I mus manually erasing who

    is there a setting too for wand of the tool, if you fill the selection with the color.

    the color didn't cross the contour line

    so I'm just curious as to what you can change with a few settings, or his normal procces, so whatever it takes, you need cleaning by yourself

    Thank you

    Photoshop is more (or less) a graphical editor hatched (with a handful of vector tools). Tools like the paint bucket tool work on the paradigm of raster. You can set the tolerance in the toolbar options also high he'll go (255) to select (or fill) all the pixels of the layer.

    If you haven't already done so, try looking at Illustrator, because it is a vector editor; You can change the contours and funds of works of art on the fly and evolve it without losing quality to boot.

  • Line and Paint Bucket tools headaches

    OK so I'm not very good at drawing with my hand, but I can do a decent bit of art with the online tool and then manipulate the lines of the way I want them to be. I also need to use a "Width" which is not strong, but the curves (1st image as example). My problem is filling in sections with colors using paint with these conditions. I need to have "object drawing Mode OFF' to fill in the blanks. However at the joints it starts to do weird things. The first picture shows (for example) how I want the online tool to make the final product looks like, but requires that I use "object drawing Mode WE" who let me use the paint bucket tool to fill the white central room. If I use "Object drawing Mode OFF"I get the picture 2nd as a result. How do I fix this so I can get something that looks like the first image, but allows me to fill in the blanks with a new color using the paint bucket tool? Thank you in advance.

    1. draw your hash table as you have using the object Mode:

    2 using the selection tool select the drawing that you want to fill:

    3. in the section fill and stroke of the Properties window, you will see three options. Select expand to fill in on the left.

    4 using the paint bucket tool, fill the Center:

  • Paint Bucket tool works not

    Since the "Animate" update it's broken. I drew my frames as usual and when tring to fill in the character with the paint bucket tool, nothing happened. All my lines are closed, I redesigned the countless number of times, nothing. If I draw a circle just simple stupid but, I can fill that very well.

    Good so I managed to do the work. It seems that the drawing - all segments of it - are inside a drawn object. Just double-click on one of the lines to get into this object. You can now fill.

  • Unable to turn off anti-aliasing in the paint bucket tool!

    Hi all! Today, I have a problem with Photoshop CS6, I don't know why it won't let me not turn off anti-aliasing in the paint bucket tool. The toolbar shows me a gray box of anti-aliasing, unverifiable:

    Photoshop Problem.jpg

    Could someone explain how to solve? It is very irritating.

    The color - indexed color Mode you cannot click on Anti Alias.

    So if you change the image in RGB or CMYK, you will then be able to use the option of anti-aliasing.
