Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

Hey guys, is anyone else having this issue when using the fill tool? The color seems faded and the BG is seen. I have to fill twice and in some cases this doesn't help too. I've attached a few screenshots here to describe what I mean, any suggestions on how I could fix this please? Do I have to have a plain white BG when coloring? If there's no layer underneath, tvpaint defaults to having a white screen anyways so I'm not really sure if having a white BG layer will help at all..

Have you checked if there's a paper active?

thanks for the reply slowtiger, i've checked and i'm pretty sure the paper wasn't active when i was filling color, will keep an eye out for it though, thank you for your suggestion

The possible reasons why any colour isn't 100% opaque are:
- the layer is not set to 100% opacity
- the tool is set to less than 100% opacity
- the tool is set to less than 100% power
- tool's power or opacity are pressure-dependent
- a paper is active
- a mask is active
- the layer is set to some other mode than colour

thank you for your support slowtiger will keep a close eye to make sure none of these are affecting the colour

i'm not sure whether the tool's power or opacity are pressure dependent, this might be the case, how would I know this is affecting it? is there a way to check this?

The little square in the tool settings window right next to opacity should be C, not P. (RMB on the square gets you all opions.)

I cannot seem to find what you've mentioned slowtiger is it possible you could kindly take a screenshot and show me where this little square is? Does this setting appear in the tool settings once I've selected the paint bucket tool?

I was talking more in general. That setting (pressure etc) of course appears only with bushes.

yup I found it after I selected a brush, but this problem only seems to appear when I use the fill tool I'm not sure why this is the case... might have to reach out to tvpaint directly, thank you for your suggestions and support slowtiger, I appreciate it very much
