Bucket Fill in Shapes

joshuakf May 2, 2012 4:14 AM

I am using the Bloc Theme from YooThemes for my webpage: http://headcasesound.com/wp-content/themes/yoo_bloc_wp/images/variations/stripes/page_bg_i mg.png

I'm looking to fill in those 3 colors with three colors that I have designed myself.

I used the eyedropper to pick up colors from other files and tried to fill the shapes. No matter what I've done - even using the pen tool to close in the shape the fill goes all over the whole page.Appreciate your help.

When I fill in the colors how can I also keep the 3-D effect?

If you are unwilling to properly rebuild those stripes you could try to create Vector Masks, then level them with Curves Layers (and desaturate the red one with a Hue/Saturation Layer) and use Sold Color Layers set to Blend Mode Multiply.

For a brand new photoshop user a step-by-step brief tutorial would be very VERY helpful.

• Create a Path
• Create a Group (Layer > New > Group) and apply the Vector Mask (Layer > Vector Mask > Current Path)
• Create a Curves Layer and try to get the affected stripe to more or less match up with the white one
• Create a Solid Color Layer (Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color) and set the color you want
• Set the Solid Fill Layer to Multiply
