Is there a way to make the Paint Bucket Tool actually fill a selection witout leaving an outline?

draw with pencil tool instead of brush. then if you ever move or resize something make sure to make ur interpolation "nearest neighbor" then u shouldnt have any issues like that with paint bucket. crazy that the "community expert" tried to give u that bs as an answer. rookie lol

You can duplicate the Line layer and rename it to Colour. then double click (paint bucket) in the Colour Layer. the second click will fill these little pixel outlines.

but its messier. so make sure you preserve the separate Line layer and check with different backgrounds incase Colour layer fills its own out line and creates a new white outline eveywhere dont want that. . 

I agree this is rediculous. I switched to coloring on my iPad with Art Studio pro. Its fantastic. It's a $12 program that is better than PS for drawing and has expansion settings for the bucket fill.

BTW, folks, this request goes back to the 90s and it boggles the mind that Adobe has yet to implement. And just so you know, Adobe Fresco added the feature some months ago...

try that setting it can solve your problem thanks

Select the area you need to fill with the magic wand tool, then create a layer beneath the lineart, use the fill bucket, and then outline-stroke the selection. I do this on a regular basis for my comic work.

You can also use shift-W to fill and outline stroke many sections at once.

I am entering waaay late in the game and others have given perfectly good solutions. But here I go.

First, a philosophical point for those learning:

Use anything and everything you have at your disposal to get to your goal. There is a divergent/convergent part of the learning curve: you try everything, then you get very selective and particular about what has worked best and what hasn’t.

I urge you to never stop there. Diverge and converge again and again. Then, instead of being fearful of magic wand, paint bucket, color fill (to name just a few common purported taboos that evoke "never use!" comments), you will actually learn to use all of these skillfully – meaning, when you need them.

You don’t need a parachute to jump off a curb. What matters is your landing.

Second, question at hand:

I find that using the eraser tool and a mask layer (alpha or quick) allows you to make a shape with the desired edge softness and then, when you fill with the paint bucket (contiguous, 254 tolerance) the result will be a filled shape with no inner halo. From there, you can add it to a layer and fill it how you want. I do believe it is always a good idea to use a mask on a pixel layer for a shape, so you can have flexibility to adjust both separately.

Hope this is useful.

Very simple!

When you click the bucket tool... just click it again!

In other words fill the same area twice 🤔 🤔
