[How To] Impossible to fill this kind of level

Hi,

The first time I used Fresco I succeeded in colouring my simple children's books images. Yesterday I wanted to go on and I had this message: "

  • impossible to fill this kind of level

So I cannot color at all. I have not set any level, though it seems so. Could you please help me?

I have tried to color again the first image that I was able to color, but I got the same message. I've even disinstalled and reinstalled the app on my pc Windows but nothing changes.

I'm still blocked by that message that does not allow me to color anymore.

Thanks in advance and Merry Xmas & Holyday season!

Merry Christmas to you!
Now, I don't peak Italian, but from the photo, I am assuming that "livello" means layer. So it's a wrong type of layer.

Your highlighted (selected) layer seems to be an image, it cannot be filled...

Try clicking on an empty layer and fill it from there (after all you wouldn't want to fill where your drawing is!)

 

see my screenshot below

I cannot fill that type of layer as it's considered an image.

See the little (Very small) icon next to the layer, it looks like a mountain (symbol for image)

Now try to draw with a vector brush (which will create a new vector layer) and see how the icon next to it is different, and same with a standard brush, the icon will look different too:

 

 

You can fill the last two, but not a background or an image layer.

 

Hope I explained it well 🙂
