Paintshop Pro

Can someone help with a PSP problem/question?? Pretty basic I think, but I can't suss it out! lol

Basically I created a Preset Shape and I want to flood fill it, but I can't select that function (the button is faded out).

Any help would be appreciated, either here or via PM. :) Thanks.

[Elsie]

OK, I managed the flood fill, but how do I get rid of the outline of the shape (or recolor it, or part of it)?

sorry, I've never use that program. always been a photoshop user :)

I've used PDP for years, but have never ever used the preset shapes, so I can't help you either. sorry Elsie

[Elsie]

thanks everyone!! lol

for now i've improvised in Paint. ;)

anyone else have any clues!?

[b2w]

I just color over it.

[John]

Use the 'Stroke' effect in the shape funtions, and either deselect it, or make it the same colour as the background.

[Elsie]

and where do i find the shape functions?

[John]

In the effects for that shape.

[Elsie]

can't see anything.....

can you give it step-by-step please? :)

[John]

I will try to do a few screenies to illustrate what I mean.

Warning: Have had nearly a bottle of wine (Sweet Spanish White) so beware...:)

[John]

How is this...

very pretty ;) but where do i get all that from??

[John]

From the layer...

[Peggy]

I think he means from the layer pallette

Ok, before Elsie goes postal trying to find a photoshop dialog in paintshop pro... John, I think you missed the title of this thread... OTOH, he admitted to GAUI (Giving Advice Under Influence ;)) so don't take it too hard on him.

[Elsie]

lol. thanks everyone!!

i had a tinker in the layer palette and discovered that if i did the flood fill on the background layer, and then made the top layer (the shape) invisble...... ta dum!!! :) (not sure whether that's what people were trying to explain to me all along, but at least i ended up with a clue where to look, so there's progress! :D)

and for those of you wondering why i'd draw a shape and then just hide it again, here's the effect i was aiming for......

[Peggy]

very good!

[Elsie]

you're easily impressed!! ;)

[Peggy]

I really am, embarrassingly so, lol

[Elsie]

:D well, happy to impress!! lol
