To fill an image based on color
1 Choose the Paint Bucket tool from the toolbox.
2 Click the Fill Image button on the property bar.
3 Choose one of the following options from the Fill pop-up menu:
• Current Color, which fills with the selected color.
• Gradient, which fills with the selected gradient.
• Clone Source, which fills with the current clone source image. If you haven’t
defined a clone source, Corel Painter fills with the current pattern.
• Weaves, which fills with the selected weave.
4 Choose the specific material you want from the Select Fill pop-up menu.
5 Type a value in the Tolerance box, or adjust the pop-up slider, to specify the range
of colors to be filled.
6 Type a value in the Feather box, or adjust the pop-up slider, to specify the fill
opacity for pixels outside the Tolerance range.
If you want to create intermediate fill values on the boundaries, enable the
Anti-Alias check box. This gives soft edges to the fill. Anti-aliasing is desirable
when the Feather setting is zero or extremely low. Click the area of the image you
want to fill.
If the result is not what you want, undo the fill, change the settings, and try again.
You can constrain the fill to a rectangular area by dragging with the
Paint Bucket tool.
To choose a lock-out color
1 On the Colors palette, choose the color you want to protect.
2 Double-click the Paint Bucket tool in the toolbox.
3 In the Lock Out Color dialog box, click Set.
The color swatch updates to the new color, and the Lock Out Color check box is
enabled.
To copy lines to a selection
