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.
