Fill a Layer with Color

[LilleG 278]

Am I overlooking something glaringly obvious or is there no way to fill a layer with color other than using the Fill/Gradient tool to fill a layer-sized rectangle?

Hi LilleG,

Here's another way (pixel based):

- create a new pixel layer

- go to the Flood Fill tool, pick the color you want from the Colour panel and click on the canvas to fill the pixel layer.

Thanks.  It seemed like the possibility should be there but I couldn't find it.

How do you create a new pixel layer?

On the bottom right of the Layers panel there is three icons. Click on the middle (near the trash icon).
