justin b Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 The flood fill tool is behaving erratically. Sometimes I am able to see the add and subtract functions the tolerance and the contiguous features and other times juat the tolerance and contiguous features and when this occurs it will not allow me to separate the selection I have made from the main image. Please help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted June 14, 2018 Staff Share Posted June 14, 2018 Hi Justin b and Welcome to the Forums, Flood fill tool doesn't have those options you mention, the Selection tools do. So you can add to the selection or subtract from it. The Flood Fill only has the Tolerance and Contiguous options, as shown in your screenshot.

justin b Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 Thank you for your reply. I was just following a tutorial and clicked on the same tool as the one in the tutorial. I could not understand why I was not given the same capabilities. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I think the tool you are talking about (or want) is called the Flood Select Tool It is for making pixel selections and that will give you the following options You can use that to " to separate the selection I have made from the main image." The Flood Fill Tool is for filling areas with a colour (or replacing areas with a new colour) and only gives these options Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions.
