Why the paint bucket color only shades of gray?

I use Paint to fill colors and although I see and choose the colors of the spectrum, I'm getting is shades of gray.  What happened to the colors of the foreground and the background, why only come on shades of gray while in the selector, it shows that I took a color?

probably, you work in a black and white document (in grayscale). go to image > mode > RGB color.

Another possibility: you can work on a mask. Press ESC, and then go to go to layer > new layer and is if that helps.

  • How to activate the paint bucket instead of the tool material Drop on Photoshop CC 2015?

    WN vote favor

    any ideas?

    We seem to have some messages like yours since CC2015.1.2.  The problem is, we can't tell if it's user error, and that posters are not using the tools of fly-out, or if it is a fault.  I'm leaning toward the latter because I do not remember what happens before the last update.

    So of I Mohit suggestion didn't deceive.

  • Shade of color shows ONLY shades of gray on the gradient layer...?

    My color chart seems to be defaulting to only shades of gray on a gradient layer, and I can just find a way to let him replace the color I chose.  After that I created a new layer of gradient fill, when I have the layer selected in the layer list on the right side of the screen, color samples show ONLY gray.  If I click on the sample, it brings up the color selector, but no matter what color I select, the swatch shows shades of gray.  If I select the background layer, it goes back to show my color.

    There's probably a simple explanation to this problem, but I was searching Google for literally hours without finding an answer.  I found some similar questions have the response "go to Image, Mode, and make sure that RGB is selected."  Mine is already set to RGB, so it's not the question.

    How can I change the colors in a gradient fill layer, and why my color chart displays grayscale only when I selected gradient fill layer, even if by clicking on the color chart reveals the color picker?

    To change/edit the gradient colors, double click on the thumbnail of the gradient in the layers panel fill

    Then in the gradient fill box, click just to the right of the gradient word to change the colors

    In the gradient editor, click one of the stages of the color at the bottom of the gradient bar and click color to change the color of this judgment

    There is much more to the gradient to the room Editor to explain on the forum, so you can view the following for more information

    Photoshop elements help | Gradients

    Using Photoshop | Gradients

    The reason for which continues to show your color in levels of gray, is the layer mask is still active with adjustment layers in photoshop elements and layer masks are grayscale

  • When you use the paint bucket, discharges of color gray?

    Well, then, when I go to use the paint bucket tool, the color of landfills as a gray, even if I chose black or white.

    My guess would be because of your use of the blend mode of hue.

  • 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.

  • Object drawn with a pencil will not fill with the paint bucket tool

    I draw an object using the pencil tool in Flash CS5. Since I use several traces I connect them all by clicking on Edit, combine objects then Union combining the traits in a single object. But when I try to fill it with the color that it doesn't work. Even if I make sure there is no gap. A few small areas that are closed in the fill of the object with the color, but do not know why the rest of the object refuses to be filled with color.

    Open 2.jpg

    I fiddled around and switch between the object drawing Mode and drawing Mode, but that doesn't work anymore. Usually when I use the Brush tool I have no problem filling the object with colors. But for some reason, I can't when I use the pencil tool! Help, please!

    OK, think about it. If you select your character and in the properties to ask him to be 3000 wide, then zoom in to just behind his ears, you'll see a gap. There is another gap directly in front of the ears.

    The thing filling gaps that Chris mentioned does not immediately work, because your lines are still in odd drawing object, the union did you yet left the tiny holes. You can exit this mode by a Break Apart and select all. Areas with gaps fill again right away, but the small fill openings feature will work. The option size of gap is in the tools downwards when the paint bucket is selected.

    I'm going to insert an image, which shows the great super version, where you can see two gaps, and you can see how the right box is filled, even if there is a gap.

  • 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.

  • Problems with the Paint Bucket fill tool with Windows

    I've searched the forums from Adobe on this problem and I noticed that many of them are still listed as unanswered. There are a lot of good ideas out there, but I'm trying to fill in a form that I created using several strokes that are overlapping with a completely sealed space in which still cannot be completed. I can fill in forms with the form (ie. ellipse, rectangle, etc.) tool, but every time I have to draw a shape by hand or by using the online tool he still doesn't accept the paint bucket. I tried it on a Mac with Flash Professional CS5 (which is what I'm working with on my computer) and the tool works perfectly. Does anyone know what other parameters or options I which can be settled otherwise; the paint bucket tool with a selected color, Alpha for bucket at 100%, the Reading Gap size "close major gaps" or lines do not finish the form? Other ideas would be very useful... Thank you!

    The following worked for me: a high magnification zoom > try to click the lines instead of the empty space of void. I think programmers of Adobe has made some changes to the interactions. It's silly, how the behavior of click of this tool is, but it works. Try zooming in and clicking on the lines - do not forget to use TINY arrowhead in the fill icon. That's the thing.

  • can not find the paint bucket icon...

    Hi all. brand new here. Here's what I did. I hope that someone knows. I sketched the works of art on paper, scanned and used vectorizing in illustrator to create the design. I was told that it would be much simpler coloring later it with paint in photoshop. I pull up in ps and any .ai file simply could not find the paint bucket tool. what I do or not do?

    THANKS in advance for your help

    It is installed with the gradient tool. Hold the mouse down here, and you will see!

  • Why the iTunes Store WATER only looks at only generic music, iTunes Store in other regions free movies soundtracks

    Why the iTunes Store WATER only focuses on the music of generic that are broadcast on the radio on a daily basis? What happened to Bo film and video games? Google tells me what I'm looking for are already on iTunes, but they are still on the US store.

    It's a pain to switch every now and then the stores, and I'm not really planning to go through this path. Apple will improve and pay attention to the quality over quantity in this case? I waited to see improvement, but it seems that Apple UNITED Arab Emirates are too busy with copy paste what is on the radio lately.

    We hope to see positive reactions.

    Apple does not decide which can be sold in each country.  They can't sell what the owners of distribution for music rights allow them to sell.

    You can leave your comments for Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback if you wish.

    It is not legal to use iTunes US store, unless you're physically located within the borders of the United States this is true of every country and their iTunes store.
