Colour multiple areas

[Guest]

Hi guys, I have a question, that is: I am drawing and colouring shoes and the problem is that the laces are only small and many areas so it would be perfect if I could bundle all the areas and colour them at once. Do you know if this is possible? Thank you a lot!

Yes.  Are you referring to a photograph with many shoes?  It would be a matter of selecting each lace area and saving the entire group as a selection.  Then, just load the selection and paint ( a quick way would be to put your color as the background color and just hit the delete key to paint them all at once ).

My recommendation involves rasterizing your artwork and then using Photoshop to colorize.  If you are using a vector program, then it will be even easier selecting, then grouping, then applying a fill color.

It is one shoe and it is a painting more or less. I rasterized it now and put it into Photoshop. What do you mean with vector program? I'm not really deep into the topic so far ....And I can only select ALL areas ....

I was not sure what type of file it is you are working on.  Since I now know it is Photoshop, my first post is appropriate. You can try the selection tools along with the magic wand to see how it goes.  Either way, you need to select the areas before painting them.
