How to fill with one color in Photoshop. Photoshop CS6 Special Technology - Content Aware Fill

Filling a layer with color is a simple and popular operation in Photoshop. This may need to be done when needed plain background or to apply some shade on top of the image - toning, for example, using a layer with yellow gives a sepia effect.

In order to make a layer completely one color, I counted 5 possible ways.

Methods for filling a layer with color

Method 1

Menu command Editing - Fill(Fill) , or pressing a combination of hot keys that duplicates this command:

Hotkey combination: Shift+F5

A dialog box will open Fill. In it, in the drop-down list Use select Color. The color selection palette will immediately open. Decide on a color and click OK.

Method 2

Using the Alt+Backspace key combination, the layer is filled with the main color set on the tool palette - .

Method 3 Paint Fill Tool

From the toolbar, select Fill tool. Click on the layer and it will immediately be painted with the main color (see example above).

Filling works when there is nothing extra on the layer. Otherwise, the tool will paint only certain areas.

I remember when I first started learning Photoshop, I used exactly this method. The idea is that you simply paint over the layer with a brush, like Tom Sawyer painted a fence.

All of the above methods have one common drawback - in cases where it is required, the layer filled with color will not increase. The part of the canvas that was added will be painted over automatically background color.

Example. Initially, the layer was filled with yellow paint. After enlarging the canvas, a reddish color was added along the contour, in accordance with what was displayed on the indicator background color.

To prevent this, you need to use the following method.

Method 5 Fill layer

Run the command Layer - New Fill Layer(New Fill Layer) - Color. You can immediately click OK. After this, a fill color selection palette will appear. Make a choice.

"Marvelous! Simply extraordinary! This can't be! - These are some of the exclamations you can hear from people who see the new content-aware fill features of Adobe Photoshop CS6 in action. Indeed, companies

Adobe managed to do the impossible, open new page in the field of computer graphics.

How often have you seen beautiful photographs ruined by the appearance of an unwanted object in the frame? I think all the time. Sometimes you can spend hours in Adobe Photoshop trying to remove a random passerby from a high school reunion photo or unwanted graffiti on a wall.

In Adobe Photoshop CS6, solving the problem of deleting unwanted objects found. Moreover, for these purposes there are two methods: filling taking into account the content and the possibility of the corresponding function in the Spot Healing Brash Tool.

The essence of this function is as follows: the program replaces the area you have selected with an image based on the objects surrounding the area. This way, you can easily remove the person in front of the brick wall from the frame: select him, then use the Content-Aware Fill feature.

Для лучших результатов рекомендуется использовать изображения с наиболее ровным фоном и объектом относительно небольших размеров. Желательно, чтобы объект располагался как можно ближе к центру фоновой области. Для примера мы специально взяли фотографию с крупным объектом и !} complex background– it’s enough to finish drawing the vegetation difficult task(Fig. 6.18).

5. To completely replace the selected area with a new generated image, in the Blending group of controls, in the Mode drop-down list, select Normal, and in the Opaque input field. (Opacity) set the value to one hundred percent.

6. To apply the function, click OK.

The selected area is filled with the image based on the elements surrounding it. You may notice that the image generated by the program looks quite natural. Experiment with the selection form to achieve best results. When working with complex images, you can use the Spot Healing Brush Tool, Clone Stamp Tool and others to mask characteristic “seams”.

For most basic operations image editing functions included in the software distributed with the OS are quite sufficient Windows graphical Paint editor. The only inconvenient thing is that it lacks the ability to place several pictures on different layers at the same time. This option is available in the Adobe Photoshop editor, so many image manipulations are easier to do in it. For example, this applies to background fill finished image in a different color.

You will need

• - Graphic Adobe editor Photoshop.

Instructions

Now let's consider next group tools.

Fill tools

Filling. Click and hold on this tool left key mouse, a selection menu will open: gradient and fill.

Here you can select what you need.

Bucket - fills an image (selection) with color or texture.

So, for filling we have the following parameters:

Fill - determines what to use as “paint”: the foreground will be filled with the main color, the pattern will be filled with some pattern.

Pattern - pattern for filling.

Mode is a method of overlaying pixels; there are many values ​​and will be considered as needed.

Opacity - determines the degree of transparency of the fill.

Tolerance - range of colors to fill.

The anti-aliasing checkbox means to soften the edges of the transition.

Let's try it in practice:

Take the fill tool (click on the bucket), move it inside the selection made on previous step, and click the mouse. Our selection will be colored in the foreground color (black by default).

Now in the options bar, select: Fill -> Pattern, Pattern -> any you like.

Move our bucket inside the selection again and click. Now it is filled with a template and looks like this:

Please note that in the template window that opens, only a small part of them is presented. If you click on the arrow on the right, a menu will open, at the bottom of which other collections of templates are listed. They can be added to existing ones.

Gradient. Creates a fill with smooth transition between two or more colors.

Let's look at the options panel:

If you click on the arrow on the right, a palette with gradient options will open, with double click a gradient editing window will open in front of the arrow (here you can configure your gradient options).

Determines the type of gradient (from left to right - linear, radial, angular, reflected, diamond).

Inversion (reverse) - a checkmark indicates to geometrically reverse the gradient.

Dither (depth - dither) - the checkbox indicates smooth to reduce segmentation.

Transparency - a check mark indicates the use of transparency.

Let's try it in practice:

Create new file, take the tool rectangular selection and stretch it in the form of a rectangle, then on the toolbar click on the gradient icon, on the options bar click on the arrow and select the gradient you like, to the right select the type of gradient (any).

Pay attention to the first two squares in the gradient selection window that opens. They use the colors you set as your foreground and background colors (the colored squares at the bottom of the toolbar). The first gradient implements smooth transition from the main color to the background, the second - from the main color to transparency.

Now move the mouse cursor to the middle of the left side of our selection, press the left mouse button and, without releasing, draw a line to the middle of the right side (Fig. 1)
Now draw the gradient line diagonally (Fig. 2)
And now from top to bottom (Fig. 3)

See the difference and experiment with different gradients and their types.

Saving an image

Our lesson is coming to an end, all that remains is to learn how to preserve our masterpieces.

Click the File menu item, in the pop-up menu you will see the usual Save As item and the new Save for Web item. Let's figure out which one is for what.

If you are working on an image and want to be able to change it in the future, you should select the menu item - Save As

Where to save and what name to give is your personal business, but the format will be *.PSD;*.PDD. It is in this format that all your settings are saved (we don’t have them yet, but they will appear later). Thus, it is not the entire picture that is saved, but its parts, each of which you can change whenever you want.

If your image is ready, then select the menu item - Save for Web. The image will be saved optimized for the Internet (i.e. with the best quality/file size combination). The saving window that opens should be examined in more detail:

Four tabs at the top offer you to view image options:

Original - the image as it is. Usually, big size file not valid for web.
Optimal - optimal ratio quality and file size from the program's point of view.
2-up, 4-up - respectively, two and four image options side by side, the size is indicated at the bottom of each. You can choose the best one in your opinion.

On the right top corner This window allows you to set additional settings:

Here you can select the format of the saved image. General recommendations- use JPEG formats and PNG for photos with subtle, realistic color transitions, GIF format- for contrasting, low-color designs. By the way, all pictures on this page are saved in GIF format.

If you use the tabs discussed above, then customizing this part of the window is not necessary, at least not at this stage.

So, choose the most optimal image in your opinion and click on the Save button. The usual saving window will open, where you should specify the Folder (where to save) and the File Name, the rest will already be specified, click Save again. The image for the web is ready.

This concludes the first lesson. You learned how to create a new file, select areas and fill them different ways(color, pattern and gradient), and also save images in the desired format.

To reinforce these skills, experiment (create different shaped areas and fill them in different ways).

In the next lesson you will learn how to work with text and get acquainted with the main concept of the program - layers.

Instructions

Load the image into Photoshop whose background you want to edit. To do this, simply drag the desired file into the graphic editor window. Another way is to right-click on it and select Adobe Photoshop in the “Open with” section of the pop-up context menu.

Create a separate layer to use as a background layer - click the “Create New Layer” icon in the Layers panel. This operation can also be done using the hotkeys Shift + Ctrl + N.

Activate the Fill tool - click the corresponding button on the toolbar or press the G key.

Click the icon at the bottom of the toolbar, which opens the color picker. In the palette, you need to set a new background color for the original image, and then close it with the OK button. Click anywhere on an empty layer and Photoshop will fill it with the selected color.

Select the bottom layer (the original image) in the palette and create a copy of it. This is necessary because Photoshop's background layers do not allow editing in most cases. This is indicated by a lock icon on the right side of the line of a locked layer in the layers panel. The easiest way to create a copy is by pressing the hot keys Ctrl + J. You can also use the “Create a duplicate layer” item in the “Layers” section of the graphics editor. The same item is in the context menu, called by right-clicking on a line in the layers panel.

Place the created duplicate image in front - drag its row with the left mouse button up in the layers panel.

Turn on the Magic Wand tool - press the W key or click the corresponding icon on the toolbar.

Delete all background areas on the top layer - click on each of them with the mouse pointer and press the Delete key. As a result, the background color layer will become visible through the areas that have become transparent.

Save the edited picture. If you plan to make any edits in the future, then leave a copy in psd format so as not to repeat the manipulation of creating layers again. The corresponding dialog is called up by pressing the key combination Ctrl + S. To save work in one of the usual graphic formats, there are two additional dialogs that can be opened with the combinations Shift + Ctrl + S and Alt + Shift + Ctrl + S. Additional dialogs contain different sets of settings for changing properties of the picture.
