You're watching VisiHow. In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how you can use the filler tool on Photoshop CS6 in Windows 7.

1. 1
   To begin, we should have Photoshop open with a new or existing document

   .

   Once we do, our screen will look like the tutorial. We can see that this particular document is in its own tab on the left-hand side. If we open another document it will be next to it on the right-hand side.

   On the column on the left-hand side, click the bucket icon

   .

   This is a very simple filler tool.

   We can click the color box at the very bottom to change the color

   .

   Select the color and click "OK"

   .

5. 5
   Now we click what we'd like to color

   .

   That particular color will be filled in as a block color. This is a bit of a difficult example because it's quite messy at the bottom. If it's a neat circle, for example, then it's great. In this case, we're better off using the selection tool, which we demonstrate in another video.

   We can right-click on the bucket on the left-hand side to open a menu

   .

7. 7
   From here, we can get our Gradient tool

   .

   In this example, we will see that it's going from red to white in this example. We don't have a bucket anymore, we have a little cross for a cursor.

8. 8
   We hold down the left mouse button and pull the line across as far as we'd like

   .

   If we do a very long line, the gradient will look slightly different. We can do a line diagonally, which will make the line pixelated.

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
9. 9
   Let go of the left mouse button to add a gradient

   .

   This takes over the entire canvas. It doesn't matter what our background image is, the gradient will take over the whole canvas unless we've selected a specific area. We can see that this gradient is half white and half red.

10. 10
    If we do a very small gradient, then it's a very sudden color switch

    .

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
11. 11
    If we go from edge to edge, we see it's a much more gradual gradient

    .

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
12. 12
    We can also make it diagonal and experiment

    .

13. 13
    We can change our second color by clicking the arrow icon in the bottom left-hand corner

    .

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
14. 14
    Change the color and click "OK"

    .

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
15. 15
    Now it goes from purple to red

    .
