General Discussion / Drawing in Photoshop - outline followed by a fill...
« on: August 07, 2011, 02:50:26 am »
Hey guys,
I've been doing some of my own art for my games recently. I draw in Photoshop with a Wacom Bamboo tablet.
One thing that's been tripping me up lately is flood-filling an area after I draw an outline. For example, if I wanted to draw an orange, I would first draw a black outline of a circle with my tablet, and then flood-fill the inside with an orange color. The problem I've been experiencing has to do with the anti-aliasing of it all: whenever I execute this flood fill, there's always a space of emptiness between the border and the filled color.
What settings do I need to change to make the fill more accurate? I've set my flood fill's anti-alias on (off doesn't help either), I've tried increasing the Tolerance, but nothing seems to help.
