Subject: Help With Pasting and Flood Filling
-
Are you flood filling on a new layer with no other art/pixels on that layer? Or are you flood filling on an existing layer with art/pixels on it? If you're doing the latter, then it will flood fill patches of color already existing on that layer -- i.e., if you click on a spot, only that spot and any other connecting areas of the same color will be filled with your foreground color.

To paste to a new image, after copying, hit Ctrl-N or Command-N to create a new document. It will have the same dimensions as your selection. Then hit Ctrl-V or Command-V to paste.
Hi Acadia,
As far as using the paint bucket tool to fill an area, try increasing your tolerance. Depending on the size you might still have to click more than once.
For pasting after you copy or cut the part of the image you want, go to file -> new. A new file will be created to the size of your cut/copy and at the same resolution you cut/copied from, after the new file is created just go to edit -> paste and there you go.
Hope this helps.

Thanks :)
As far as the flood filling, I just now learned how to create a "new" layer. What I was doing was duplicating the layer and trying to flood fill the bottom one. So the layer had art/pixels on it.

I'm getting along fine with that online course at that "About" site. However, I don't see 2 issues that I'm having problems with covered.
1. Flood Filling. When I flood fill I can't flood fill the whole area in one click. For some reason only bits and pieces are filled with each click. How can I flood fill an area all at once?
Sometimes I want to crop out something from an image and paste it as a new image. Sometimes I do up tutorials and need to take a screenshot of my workspace and paste it as a new image.
However when I have an image open in the workspace, the only "Paste" that I can do is to paste the clipboard into the already existing image. The only way to get the clipboard to paste as it's own separate image is the close all other images in the workspace before pasting. Which is problematic.
How can I paste as a new image while there is an image already in the workspace?
