Flood Erase

Use Flood Erase Flood_Fill_Background_icon_dp01380.jpg to fill areas of the picture to make them transparent. The pointer changes to the Flood Erase pointer Flood_Erase_pointer.jpg. The area to be filled is defined by other colors surrounding it or the edges of the work area. Click to fill an area.

Flood Erase will not flow across gaps between separate areas of the same color. Either fill each area separately, or use other drawing tools to 'patch up' a shape to make it a continuous area of the same color.

Use the Tolerance

 settings to select the color variation for the area to be erased. See Tolerance.
