The paint bucket tool is another very useful
tool. To use the paint bucket tool, simply click on the pouring
paint bucket icon in the toolbox.
When you do so, you will see that your
pointer changes into a paint bucket and that when you click on
the canvas, you can fill areas with the color specified in the
foreground color box
The paint bucket tool has all of te usual
brush options as well as the opacity slider that we have already
discussed for other drawing tools. It also allows you to modify
the contents and tolerance values in the Options Palette.
Essentially, tolerance affects how broadly the
paint bucket will fill. If set to a high tolerance, the tool will
fill all shades of a color whereas if it is set
low it will fill less shades. The figure below shows how a higher
tolerance means that more shades of red will be filled
with the blue color. We are going to discuss the content and
tolerance options tomorrow along with other advanced features
of the paint bucket. So for now, just practice filling basic
blocks of your canvas.
