Flood Fill/Magic Wand Properties Property Editor

To display: these properties are appended to the Paint Tool Settings Property Editor. Press 3 to open it.

These options allow you to pre-set the attributes of new Flood Fills and Magic Wand selections. When you use the Flood Fill tool, these options define which pixels are filled. When you use the Magic Wand tool, they define which pixels are selected.

Mode

Choose one of the following fill/selection modes.

RGB: neighboring pixels are filled/selected if their RGB values match those of the selected pixel.

HSV: neighboring pixels are filled if their Hue, Saturation, and/or Value values match those of the selected pixel.

Anti Alias

Softens the edges of the filled area. The fill fades out at the edges over a distance defined by the Tolerance setting.

Feather

Blurs the edge of the filled/selected area. The higher the value, the larger the blurred area.

RGB

Tolerance

When Mode is set to RGB, specifies how closely a neighboring pixel's RGB values must match those of the selected pixel before the pixel is filled/selected.

A value of 0 means that only pixels that match the selected pixel exactly are filled/selected. Raising the Tolerance value broadens the range of "matching" RGB values such that pixels with increasingly dissimilar RGB values are filled/selected. Setting the value to 100 fills/selects the entire image.

HSV

Hue/Saturation/Value

When Mode is set to HSV, specifies how closely a neighboring pixel's individual Hue, Saturation, and/or Value values must match those of the selected pixel before the pixel is filled/selected.

As with the RGB mode's Tolerance setting, the lower the values, the more closely a pixel must match the selected pixel's Hue, Saturation, and/or Value value before it is filled.
