Corel Painter uses the current color, pattern, gradient, or weave. Before
filling, choose the media you want from the corresponding selector in the
toolbox.
Filling Images Based on Color
You can use the Paint Bucket tool to fill image areas based on pixel color. This method
can be used on the canvas or in a channel. Corel Painter fills areas based on color
boundaries and the current Tolerance and Feather settings.
Tolerance sets the amount of variance allowed from the color of the pixel you choose.
With a low Tolerance setting, the Paint Bucket fills only contiguous pixels that are
very close to your chosen pixel color. With a high Tolerance setting, the Paint Bucket
fills a greater range of colors.
Feathering softens the edges of the fill by controlling the fill opacity for pixels with
colors outside the Tolerance range. With Feather set to zero (the default), only pixels in
the Tolerance range are filled. With a low Feather setting, pixels with colors just
outside the Tolerance range receive partial fill. Increasing the Feather setting increases
the range of colors that receive partial fill. Pixels with colors farther from the Tolerance
range receive a more transparent fill. Typically, when Feather is set high, Tolerance is
set low.
The Lock Out Color feature protects areas of a given color from accidental filling. You
can choose a color that will not accept filling when clicked with the Paint Bucket.
Black is the default locked-out color.
You can use the Paint Bucket tool to fill the interior of areas bounded by lines. This is
especially good for producing solid fills of regions bounded by anti-aliased lines. If you
want to fill regions completely, without affecting the lines, you can first copy the lines
to a selection. Then, when you fill the cells, the lines are protected.
