HOW TO FILL COLORS INTO IMAGES ON PHOTOSHOP? -

Filling colors into images in Photoshop can mean different things depending on what exactly you’re trying to do (e.g., fill a background, fill a selection, change an object’s color, etc.). Here’s a general guide covering multiple methods:

🔹 1. Fill a Selection or Layer with Color

Steps:

Make a Selection (use any selection tool like Marquee, Lasso, Quick Selection).
Go to Edit > Fill or press Shift + F5.
Choose:
- Contents: Pick Color… to choose a custom color.
- Blending: Set mode and opacity if needed.
Click OK.

💡 Alternatively, use the Paint Bucket Tool (G) to click inside the selection or layer.

🔹 2. Fill Background or Specific Area with Paint Bucket

Steps:

Select the Paint Bucket Tool (G).
Choose a Foreground Color from the color picker.
Click the area you want to fill. Make sure:
- Tolerance (top bar) is set appropriately.
- Contiguous is checked if you want to fill only adjacent areas.

🔹 3. Use a Solid Color Fill Layer

Best for non-destructive editing:

Go to Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color.
Choose a color and click OK.
Move the fill layer or clip it to a specific layer with Alt + Click between the layers in the Layers panel.

🔹 4. Change Color of an Object (e.g., Shirt, Background)

Using Hue/Saturation Adjustment:

Make a selection around the object.
Go to Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation or use an Adjustment Layer.
Use the sliders to shift the color.

Using the Color Replacement Tool:

Select the Color Replacement Tool (under the Brush Tool).
Choose a brush size and color from the toolbar.
Paint over the area you want to change.

🔹 5. Brush Tool for Manual Color Fill

If you want to paint color manually:

Select the Brush Tool (B).
Choose a soft or hard brush.
Set the Foreground Color.
Paint over your image or within a selection.
