Silhouette Studio® V4 | Chapter 4 - Drawing/Editing Images

29

4.4 Fill Tools Closed images (where the starting point of the line connects with the ending point of the line) including Text, images created using the drawing tools, and library images, may be altered to have different filled properties. Only closed images may have filled attributes. If the path is broken on any closed images, any applied fill attributes will immediately disappear. Fill Color Options While closed images will default to be displayed as empty, you may fill any closed image with any desired color. Altering fill colors may be helpful to allow you to more easily view different images or image parts, see shapes and text in whichever color you may prefer to view them, or adjust images specifically with printing in mind for Print & Cut jobs. To apply fill colors, select your closed line image and access the Fill Color menu by clicking on the icon shown above. You may then select any of the Basic Menu color options. The hash line selection will always represent “clear”. The color picker tool will allow you to select any color from another object in the drawing area to duplicate the desired color.

Color Picker

The Advanced Options menu will allow you to create fill colors in any desired custom color. You may either drag the target on the color spectrum to visually match the color you are looking for, or type in the RGB (Red Green Blue) or HSL (Hue Saturation Lightness) value of your desired color, if you are seeking a specific known color. You will also have the ability to adjust the transparency of the filled color by manually dragging the Transparency option bar or by typing in the desired percentage of how transparent you wish the filled color to be, where 0% is solid and 100% is completely clear.
