Digital Scrapbooking Tips

It’s Halloween – a night for filling bags and buckets with tricks and treats of every sort.

In the spirit of the season, we are treating you to a tip for filling your layers with the treatment of your choice.

When you want to quickly change the color of an image, such as the .png images that come packaged with our brush sets, select the layer you want to fill and press Shift + Backspace to bring up the Fill Dialog. (Note: on some systems, pressing Shift + Delete will activate the Fill Dialog.)

From the Contents section, you can fill your layer with a variety of treats – foreground color, background color, or a color of your choice. You can choose any loaded pattern, black, white or 50% grey! It’s a veritable candy bag of options!

Check the Preserve Transparency box at the bottom left corner of the Dialog box to fill just the opaque pixels. Leaving this unchecked will cause the software to fill your entire layer.
