Flood Fill Tool

The Flood Fill Tool works by replacing the color of pixels on the current layer with the Fill color set on the Color panel, or by erasing them. The pixels affected are determined by the following:

The color of the pixel under the tool when you tap on your page.
Whether the pixels are within the same selection area.
The pixels are directly connected to the tapped pixel or any others that are affected.
The tool's Tolerance settings (see below).
The Mode selected (see below).

Settings

The following settings can be adjusted using a vertical tool slider:

Tolerance—sets the range of pixels affected when a pixel is tapped. For lower tolerance settings, pixels must be very close in value to the tapped pixel. For higher tolerance settings, pixel color can vary widely from the tapped pixel.

The following settings can be adjusted from the context toolbar:

Mode—choose from Fill or Erase.
Source—the source determines the layer(s) from which the pixels are sampled. Select from the pop-up menu.
Contiguous—if enabled, the flood will only be applied to affected pixels that are in the same area of the image. If disabled, the flood will be applied to all the pixels that match the tolerance setting regardless of where they are in the image.
Antialias—if this option is off (default), edge pixels are fully opaque, which may result in a ragged appearance. When selected, edge pixels are anti-aliased for a softer appearance better suited to compositing against a new background.
Blend Mode—changes how the applied pixels interact with existing pixels on a layer. Choose mode type from a pop-up menu.
