Using the Fill Tools
The Fill Tools give you a convenient way to create backgrounds for your projects.
In the Toolbox you can access the Bucket, Linear Gradient, Rectangular
Gradient, Elliptical Gradient, and Texture Fill Tools. The Bucket Fill Tool is
useful for quickly replacing solid colors, such as white to black. The three Gradient
Fill Tools fill an area, using two or more colors, with a smooth color transition from
one color to another. The Texture Fill Tool fills the selected image or object with
a texture pattern.
Note: The Bucket Fill Tool works with all data types, while the Gradient Fill Tools
only work with Grayscale and True Color images.
To fill a selection or object:
1. Make a selection on the area of the image
that you want to fill, or select an image
object to fill.
Note: If you don't select an object or make a
selection on the image, the fill is applied to
the entire base image.
2. Click the Bucket Fill Tool.
3. Click Fill color on the Attribute Toolbar to select the color you want or right-
click and choose a color selection method. (See “Using the Ulead Color Picker”)
4. Adjust the value in Similarity to change the range of colors affected by the fill.
Higher values mean that more of the image will be filled.
5. Enter a value in Transparency to specify the degree of transparency when
applying a fill color (0 to 99%).
6. Select from among the Merge options.
7. Click to apply the fill to the image.
