How Do You Use the Bucket Tool in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 12:33 am

The bucket tool is one of the most commonly used tools in Photoshop. It allows you to quickly and easily fill a selected area with color. To use the bucket tool, simply click on the area you want to fill and the color will be applied.

There are a few things to keep in mind when using the bucket tool. First, make sure you have the correct color selected.

You can do this by clicking on the color swatch in the toolbar. Second, if you want to fill an entire layer, make sure the layer is selected in the layers panel. Otherwise, only the area you click on will be filled.

Finally, if you want to apply a gradient or pattern instead of a solid color, you can do so by clicking on the “Gradient” or “Pattern” options in the toolbar. This will open up a new dialog box where you can select your desired gradient or pattern.

The bucket tool is a quick and easy way to fill a selected area with color in Photoshop. Just keep in mind that you need to have the correct color selected, and if filling an entire layer, make sure the layer is selected first in the layers panel.

PRO TIP: The Bucket Tool in Photoshop can be used to fill a selected area with color. However, if you use it on an image with a lot of detail, it can cause the image to become blurred.
