terriph Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I hope someone out there can help me with something that I feel should be very basic. I don't know if I'm being impatient but I'm reading and re-reading all the 'getting started' stuff and help topics and not getting anywhere. I have a map - it's of Marrakech - and I want to select the medina and colour wash it to highlight it. So I want a thick line around it and then over the map itself maybe wash it in a pale blue or green colour - but so that I can still see the basis of what is underneath it - so it is translucent. I have been able to find both the 'freeform shape' and 'lasso' tools and am able to draw around it (although in quite a wobbly way - not with straight lines) but then I can't seem to find a way to colour wash the selected area. Can anyone help me . . . please? Many thanks, TerriPh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) Make a new (transparent) layer. Add the color where you want it. Press F4, set Blending Mode to Multiply, and adjust Opacity slider. ================================== You can use the Line / Curve tool to make an enclosed area on a separate new layer. Use the Magic Wand to make a selection within that area. Fill the selection with color on a different layer. This will give you straighter, smoother lines on the selection. The outline layer can be deleted or made not visible before saving. Edited October 12, 2010 by Sarkut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
