P: Paint bucket Fill tool close-gaps, tolerance & do not fill this color

I've seen this suggested elsewhere but would be a big time saver for a variety of work in animation and so forth.

Basically it would work in a way similar to how the fill bucket worked on Adobe Flash where you could set the limits for the size gap that the fill bucket would fill.

This could be useful for both magic wand and fill bucket on photoshop.

All the best,

Tom

please make this - digital painters would love you forever - you already have it in illustrator

No, not close the gaps. Only fill out color or make the selection AS IF there was a gap. I think it will be very useful for storyboard artists, digital painters, cartoonists etc.

In case of the paint bucket tool:

So you want a filter to find and close gaps?

Changing the magic wand and paint bucket would be a lot more involved...

I imagine it finds a gap between two edges and "creates" an invisible line inbetween, to close the gap for coloring purposes. As if the computer calculates the shape of a given selection. An animation software called TVPaint is able to do this, if that will help you out.

I also imagine it could be incorporated into the Magic Wand and Paint Bucket tool. Perhaps other tools as well.

How are you expecting this to work?
