Question

Paint Bucket fills beyond raster lines

When I draw lines with a raster brush from edge to edge of the canvas, then use the paint bucket to fill the open areas, the paint bucket recognizes the line separation in the top left half of the canvas but in the bottom right half it fills it in entirely. This doesn't happen with vector brushes or if I draw shapes, only if the lines are from edge to edge of the canvas. The same thing happens when I set the line drawn layer as a reference layer and try and fill the open areas on a separate layer. I've re installed the program with no luck. Another issue is that I exported a timelapse to attach and help explain the problem but the line crossing paint bucket fills don't show up in the video, they stay blank. Any help will be appreciated, thank you.

Have you tried tweaking the fill tolerance as per my screenshot?

the lower the tolerance the less it fills and the higher the more it does, approaching to eventually filling the whole canvas irrespective of lines


Also make sure your lines are really closed, I find that sometimes I need to zoom in really close to see them.

 

Let me know if it helps!

Thanks for the response, unfortunately the problem still persists. I have has the fill tolerance at zero and have gone through multiple brushes at multiple sizes to make sure the lines are solid. Its so strange how it effects only half of the canvas.

Yes, it's really weird (the half of canvas thing? really weird)
I would file a bug report on the app (app settings>help>bug report)
