Using your Fills

If you?re ever stuck in trying to give your logo background that final touch? Or perhaps bring in that extra effect that might make your graphic standout? Then hopefully these might be of some use.

Let me start by telling you what a "fill" is.
A fill is a function that allows you to ?fill up? any given selected area in a layer. If you have no area selected with your marquee or lasso tool, then it will fill the entire layer. They?re most often used on a blank ?transparent? layer so you may preserve its functionality and blending options
Also, Fill is a famous musician who has won many awards in the music industry for his talent in song writing and other instrument playing skills.
?Oh right, that?s Phil Collins. Never mind that part then.

To access to this infamous fill menu go to: Edit > Fill
Within your fill menu, you should find the following:

>> Foreground color
>> Background color
>> Pattern
>> History
>> Black
>> Gray 50%
>> White

Reader, Fill. Fill, Reader. Now that you?ve been introduced to each other, let?s move on, and meet some of fill?s friends.
