[@chiefclif8364]

Hey Guys tip here: if you tried to colour drop and it fill up all the page instead of a specific part, you have to adjust your colour drop threshold. To do so hold down to the colour instead of releasing it to the specified spot then a message will pop up at the top telling you how great your Threshold is (slide your pencil left and right to adjust it) the lower the percentage the more specified it will be. Like the comment if it help you to let more people see it please.

[@hl8989]

You can fill in the colour faster by using the selection tool. You don’t need to drag and drop every time and it saves a lot of time

[@LucasPeinador]

That is a good idea! I'll try it!

[@lilsebastian1458]

I find that that method doesn’t fill all the pixels at the edges for some reason

[@hl8989]

I’m sure you can hold down and slide to add more or less fill, not sure as don’t have my iPad with me at the moment but it should be the same as the colour drop where you slide to select

[@asifas1742]

after selecting go to select and then modify and then expand put 1 or 2 there and it will come cover all the pixels
