How to fill selective part of an image.

Hello,

 

I recently switched to Adobe XD and when I download icon (.PSD / .PNG it doesn't matter the issue is for the both formats) when I click on the Icon and change it's color, the whole "shape" changes its color (the icon itself and it's background look at the attached shot) 

When I used Adobe Illustrator, I had the same issue but when I clicked the Selection Tool (A) and click on the edge of the icon I selected that "invisible layer" and deleted it and then the Icon was ready to use and change it's color.

 

Can someone help me? How should I do it here?

 

Thanks

Correct answer italosan

You can open the .EPS file in Adobe Illustrator and then select and copy and paste it on Adobe XD. As for the plug-ins, however, there are some interesting ones that allow you to search and insert icons directly in Adobe XD, in order to speed up your workflow such as, for example, Icon 4 Design or Icondrop by Iconscout.

Hi Iliyan,

 

Thanks for reaching out. In addition to what Kenneth and Italosan suggested, you can also try converting the image into path, and then using the Pen Tool you can edit the path as per the shape you want to fill. To convert it to a path, right-click on the image >  Path > Convert to Path.

 

Let us know if this helps or if you need any further assistance.

 

Regards

Rishabh

It does not work. But Italosan's way works good enough. Thanks for the help

    PSD and PNG are raster images and you cannot change the colour in XD. You can do Edit in Photoshop... and change the colour in Photoshop.

    If the image is vector then you can change the fill colour and border colour in XD.

    For vector image the format I can download is .EPS but It won't open in XD. What to do? Is there any plugin to help me to open .EPS?
