Painting/filling on a fill layer

[ashf]

I can create a pixel object using brush/fill tool on a fill layer.
The pixel object created is not removal and it's invisible on the layer panel.
Painting/filling on fill layers shouldn't be possible.

Maybe I don't understand what you mean. Can you show me how to draw with the brush on a filling layer?

Hi both,

Paining on a fill layer will work just like painting on a mask. They have a "built in mask" and will only take into account the greyness of that colour. So, painting with black will delete while white will reveal the fill layer. This works as designed. 

Thanks,

Gabe.

Ok.. so how to delete the pixel object if I accidentally create it?

To be clear, you don't have a pixel object. You've simply painted on the mask for the Fill layer.

I'm not sure what the simplest cleanup method is, but one of these should help:

1. Undo should help, or scrolling back in the History panel.
2. Paint over those lines with black. white (Thanks, Carl.)
3. Use the Flood Fill tool to fill with black. white.

Fill tool does not show regular color pallet but shows single color for the fill fill layer.
So it's difficult to select a color.

This "mask" of fill layer should be more intuitive I think. there are many confusing behaviors.

You're selecting a color for the paint brush tool, or the flood fill tool, not the fill layer. (Sorry, wrong tool name above; will fix.)
