richardmtl Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Hi! I realize this likely seems like a very basic question, but I can't seem to solve it. I want to use the fill tool to fill in several objects with white, that are currently black. Here's the flow I would expect: 1) Select Fill tool 2) Select the color I want to fill in the objects (actually, I'd look for an eye dropper tool but I haven't seen one, but since all I want is pure white, the eye-dropper isn't important at the moment) 3) Click on the object I want to make white 4) See the object change to white Instead, what seems to be happening is, at step 3, the White that I had configured changes to Black (the color of the object), so I need to repeat step 2 again. I have many objects to fill, so the extra clicks are somewhat annoying. What am I missing here? :) Bonus: Is there an eye-dropper-type tool?

Staff MEB Posted November 1, 2015 Staff Share Posted November 1, 2015 Hi richardmtl, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) You have to select the objects you want to edit first, only then change the fill. So basically you should do your step 3 first, then do the second. To do it in one step select all black objects first pressing and holding shift and clicking them on the canvas, then change the colour in the Colour panel to white.

richardmtl Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 Oh thank you, that makes sense, and it works! Much appreciated! What about the bonus question? > Bonus: Is there an eye-dropper-type tool? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted November 4, 2015 Staff Share Posted November 4, 2015 Check the Colour panel on the top right of the interface. There's a color picker icon there. Drag it over the color you want to pick, then select the object you want to apply the color and click on the small color well on the right of the icon to apply it.
