user099 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I must be missing something. 1. Open existing file. 2. File=>New then specify size. You will see a blank document. 3. Switch tab to opened existing document. 4. Select eyedropper tool. 5. Select color. 6. Return to new file. 7. Fill (Shift+F5) is greyed out?? 8. Select Flood Fill Tool. 9. Click on new document. 10. Right click on document. Nothing happens. Try a new intermediate step. 7A. Select rectangular marquee tool. 7B. Draw a rectangle around the entire document. Proceed with 8-10. Nothing happens. So, what is the secret to flood filling a document? This is pretty basic, but I must be missing something in Affinity Photo's workflow.

Staff MEB Posted April 19, 2017 Staff Share Posted April 19, 2017 Hi user099, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Go to menu Layer ▸ New Fill Layer... and select the colour you want directly in the Colour panel or using the colour picker.

user099 Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Thanks. What if I want to select only a portion of the frame to fill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchshader Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 You could use a rectangle shape, or one of the other shapes.

Staff MEB Posted April 20, 2017 Staff Share Posted April 20, 2017 Thanks. What if I want to select only a portion of the frame to fill? Create a selection with the Rectangular Marquee Tool and go to menu Edit ▸ Fill... (or press ⇧ (shift) + F5).
