PSP: How can Flood Fill improve?

[Nev]

Hey everyone,

How would you like to see Flood Fill improve for PSP? Ideas of any scale are welcomed.

Best,
Nev from PSP Team

Add more blend modes.

Don't require a user to click directly inside a selection to fill it. It's a fill tool, why would clicking outside a selection fail to fill the selection. It's pretty obvious what you're trying to do. This was a big one in scripting, they found a workaround but a workaround should never have been necessary.

The way it presently works would make sense if you had the option, when you have multiple selections present, to fill each one individually so you could fill each with different colors or whatever.

True, so a fill all option would be best if the selection is non-contiguous.

One thing with the Flood Fill tool is the combination with the locked transparency. In earlier versions, once the transparency was locked, ALL the non-transparent pixels were colored based on their transparency level no matter where you clicked on that layer. Now, one has to click ON a non-transparent pixel for the fill to take place AND it will only fill the contiguous non-transparent pixels. It just seems illogical to have the transparency locked, AND have to click directly ON those pixels AND multiple times if there are multiple sections.
