Filling a color in Photopea is a straightforward process typically done using the Paint Bucket Tool. This tool allows you to quickly fill areas with the currently selected foreground color.
Steps to Fill Color
To fill a specific area or layer with a solid color in Photopea, follow these steps:
- Choose Your Color: First, select the color you want to use. You do this by clicking on the Foreground Color swatch, usually located at the bottom of the toolbar on the left side of the screen. This will open the color picker where you can choose your desired hue. Click "OK" or "Press Okay" once you've selected the color.
- Select the Paint Bucket Tool: In the Photopea toolbar, locate the Gradient Tool or Paint Bucket Tool icon. According to the reference, this icon might look like a bucket or a gradient rectangle.
- If the Gradient Tool is visible, hold down on the icon.
- A small flyout menu will appear.
- From this menu, select the Paint Bucket Tool.
- Click to Fill: With the Paint Bucket Tool selected and your desired foreground color set, simply click on the area you wish to fill. This could be:
- An entire layer.
- A selected area within a layer.
- A specific region defined by its pixel similarity (depending on the tool settings like Tolerance and Contiguous).
The clicked area (or selection) will instantly be filled with the foreground color you selected in step 1.
Here's a quick overview of the tool selection based on the reference:
