paint fill

[ECNZ]

Hi, this is in A2 Beta version. Why can't I change the green fill colour (when the entire image fills in red in video) is this something i'm doing wrong? Please and thank you, Emma 🙂

ECNZ: Full-screen videos are much more useful to us for diagnostic purposes as we can see much more of what is happening and how your application and document are set-up.

As it is, it’s difficult to tell what’s happening but my first guess is that it could be something to do with the Tolerance setting in the Context Toolbar (which we can’t see in your video).

Hi @ECNZ and welcome to the forums,

I can't see that you are doing anything wrong and it seems to be working as expected here...

Could you perhaps upload a vector version of just your bee so we can take a look to see if there is any obvious reason why this isn't working?

Hi, thank you and sorry for delay in response

Hi @ECNZ,

Thanks for the screen recording and the file...

The issue is, as @GarryP mentions above, you have a tolerance setting of 60% which is causing the whole shape to fill with the same colour, if you reduce this to say 10% you should find everything works as expected...

Hi, I am also pretty new to this so excuse me if it's user error

Thanks for the video.

When you are filling the black areas – I’m assuming that you want to fill the black areas that are very slightly smaller than the other black areas; e.g. the ‘dots’ within the ‘lines’ – the ‘distance’ between the two – both in colour and by measurement – is so small that the software seems to be having trouble understanding that they are different things and, as such, it is treating them as the same thing.

With the areas being so close together, and of the same colour, I don’t know if there’s a good way to do what you want, but someone else might.

Hi @ECNZ,

The reason this is happening is because you have lots of placed SVG files in your artwork. To be able to fill them using the Flood fill tool in the Pixel Persona you will need to rasterise the placed SVG Files first...

When you're clicking on the already-filled black areas anything 'connected' to the selected area using the same colour will get filled with the newly selected colour...

Thanks, appreciate. Hey, I have spotted this maybe glitch (ha ha hoping its not me!) with a weird drawn line appearing /disappearing
