Fills and gradients

Paint bucket

The bucket (G) fills the area of the same color under the pointer. In its options:

  • Contiguous area only (on by default): only the pixels that touch. Off, it replaces that color everywhere on the layer.
  • In a selection, it fills the whole selection.

Lasso fill

The lasso fill (K) draws a shape freehand and fills it with the color when you let go. Right-click fills with the color behind. It’s the quickest way to block in a shape before the details.

Gradient

The Gradient’s options: shape, the bar of color stops, reverse and turn, dithering. The Gradient’s options: shape, the bar of color stops, reverse and turn, dithering.

The gradient (D) shares a button with the bucket. Drag from where it starts to where it ends (Shift: by 45°). It fills the area of the same color under the first click, or the selection.

  • Shape: linear, radial, angular or diamond.
  • Stops: the bar in its options shows the colors. Click it to add a stop, drag a stop to move it, click a stop to change its color: any color, with the same square, hue and opacity as your colors’ picker, or one of the palette’s, or transparent. It starts from your two colors.
  • Dithering: between two colors, pixels alternate in a pattern instead of a new color: smooth (an ordered pattern, the classic Bayer), checker, or bands with no dithering at all.
  • The gradient only uses its stops’ colors: pick them from the palette, and it stays within it.
  • Change the options right after drawing: the last gradient follows them.
