CS5 Paint Bucket - Where is it? Or, should I fill the shape using a different tool?

I have CS5, and I am in InDesign. I am a beginner.
I am trying to add a different color to each piece of the star below. Right now I can only color the entire star with 1 color (the image will not allow me to select individual pieces....I've used the Direct Selection Tool and it selects the whole star).
First question, is using the paint tool the only way to do this?
Second, if I do need to fill with a paint bucket, where is it? I saw a previous post from Mylenium that it is in between the prespective grid and free transform tool, and I just cannot find it. Need some direction here...thanks - Jamie

Stix- You are right. I did for the sake of attempting this InDesign "exercise" - this student training manual makes it seem like you can add different colors to the star, which in my experience after playing with it - you can't.
I do understand that Illustrator is a preferred program to use when doing these types of things so I think I will move forward and do my coloring there.
Not sure why the manual is showing you can do it in InDesign...
Thanks for your input, I thought I was maybe missing something.

Photshop CS5 paint bucket colors do not match selected color picker colors

I recently installed CS5 on my laptop after first removing it from my previous machine.
All licences were validated so no problems there.
Now when using paint bucket in photoshop, the colors that I select in the color picker are not the colors that result when I use the paint bucket.
If I create a new black canvas then the colors selected in color picker work with paint bucket.
But if I attempt to recolor the background in an existing image that I import into photoshop, I get the mismatch with colors when I use paint bucket. My method for selecting colors is the same in each case, I select 'set foreground color' and set the color using html values entry at the bottom of the panel.
Any help would be gratefully received.

Try changing Image > Mode to RGB – does the Tool work as expected then?
To quote from the Help:
Indexed Color mode
Indexed Color mode produces 8-bit image files with up to 256 colors. When converting to indexed color, Photoshop builds a color lookup table (CLUT), which stores and indexes the colors in the image. If a color in the original image does not appear in the table, the program chooses the closest one or uses dithering to simulate the color using available colors.
Although its palette of colors is limited, indexed color can reduce file size yet maintain the visual quality needed for multimedia presentations, web pages, and the like. Limited editing is available in this mode. For extensive editing, you should convert temporarily to RGB mode. Indexed color files can be saved in Photoshop, BMP, DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine), GIF, Photoshop EPS, Large Document Format (PSB), PCX, Photoshop PDF, Photoshop Raw, Photoshop 2.0, PICT, PNG, Targa®, or TIFF formats.

Where should I fill the bank details of customer while getting the incoming payment ?

Hi all
Can any one advise me where I can fill the information of customer bank detail while creating incoming payment by Check ?
User want to update the customer bank detail when we get the check from customer
Thanks
Rini

Hi,
By bank detail do you mean the Bank Name, Branch and Account? These information can be set in the business master data. In the Payment Terms tab there is a portion about Business Partner Bank.
There you can add the bank details.
See this help file for more information:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sbo882/helpdata/en/1d/bbc2e2c0704b308577aabbae3ac25b/content.htm?frameset=/en/44/f3e883c4b80…
once it is added by the time the payment means is selected the bank detail/s of the customer can be selected.
hope this helps

Should I partition the disks using fdisk (300 GB lun) for ASM?

We've configured oracle 11g and asm on SLES10sp2 systems prior to the one I'm working on now. We use disks that are luns from SAN storage. The SAN devices vary (Tier 1 and tier 2). In earlier installs, we did not need to partition the disks using fdisk (luns up to 40GB in size). We did need to write a label using fdisk and 'w'. The asm that is being configured now is using 300 GB luns (on sles10 sp2 oracle 11g). I've needed to create a new primary partition using fdisk and then have asm 'look' as the partitioned device. If I did not do that, ASM would not look at the unpartitioned device.
The database in now built and it seems to be working ok.
Does this config sound ok?
Thanks,
Eleanor

I think this is right. I also always had to partition disks and let asm use the partitions because for some reason it did not accept the full device.

Where can I find the paint bucket tool

where can I find the paint bucket tool

Which version of photoshop and operating system are you using?
Generally the Paint Bucket Tool is grouped in the same tool slot as the Gradient Tool in the tool box.
You can click and hold on the tool icons in the tool box to see the hidden tools.
(hidden tools are preset if there is a small black or white triangle to the lower right of the tool icon in the tool box)

Paint Bucket FIlls

Hello, I am working on a project where I am doing hand drawn rotoscope (think waking life). For larger areas I am drawing the outline and then filling the shape with the paint bucket. The problem is that the fill doesn't go all the way to the edge of the outline. The anti-aliasing on the brush seems to be creating it, but I don't want to turn anti-aliasing off. It will be a huge time saver for me to figure this out. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Any chance you'd be willing to learn to draw with the pen tool instead of the paintbrush?
If not, you could try increasing the tolerance setting in the Options bar of the Paint Bucket Tool. You might be able to find one that gets you to where there's not an obvious edge left showing.

Should I uninstall the Old CS5.5?

I installed upgrade of CS6 Web Premium, but still have dreamweaver CS5.5 and other programs present. Should I uninstall the old programs??

If you want to.
I would hold onto 5.5 personally, as a "just in case 6 causes any problems" type of thing.

How do I "Select pixels" on more than one layer, then "Paint bucket" ?

Hi
Using Photoshop CS4.
I have a document with several layers.
If I right click a layer in the "Layers UI" and then click "Select pixels" then the pixels in that layer is selected.
Then I can use the "Paint bucket" to e.g. set another color for the selected pixels.
Is it possible to "Select pixels" from more than one layer, and then use "Paint bucket" once to change color for all the selected pixels in one go?

You wont be able to FILL more than one layer at a time.
But loading seections can be done by holding control SHIFT and clicking on the layer thumnail in the layers panel. Each click will load more area depending on which layers you load

Paint Bucket Dump Won't Anti-Alias

I made a selection with the magic wand (with the anti-alias box checked), made a new layer, and dumped a color in with the paint bucket (anti-alias box is checked). But, the edges are not anti-aliased. I am running Photoshop CC on Mac OS 10.6.8, and this problem occurred in a .tiff file and a .psd file. I can't imagine what I am missing here. Help!

Probably because of the selection. The fill can not blend beyond the selection and therefore gives you a hard edge.
What you can do is feather the selection which can be done in the refine edge dialog box or From the menu Select>Modify> Feather or Select>Modify>Expand.
Using expand will push out the selection so your anti-aliasing can work better.

Paint Bucket Not Filling Completely

1) Create New Layer with transparent background
2) Polygonal Lasso to create shape (in this case a triangle)
3) Paint Bucket Tool to fill
See picture, it fills the shape, but the edges appear to have either some sort of feathering or gradient, but I have not been able to figure out which setting it is -

you appear to have a very low resolution image (20x20 pixels?) If you don't want the feathering, turn of the anti-alias option in the lasso tool options prior to making your selection.

Values of one column in one sheet should reflect in the another column

Hi,
We have a workbook where the same column values in one sheet should reflect in the column values of different sheet.
Can anyone please provide a solution to this.
Thanks & Regards

Use the simple Excel formula of equal to and give reference to that column or try using a VB Macro.

Live Paint Bucket tool Missing in Illustrator CS5

The Live Paint Bucket tool does not appear in the tools palette in Illustrator CS5. I have looked at other threads which suggest removing the preferences file 'Adobe Illustrator CS5 settings'. I did this and it had no effect. There is no blank space in the palette where the button should be, it is just completely absent, like it was never installed (either that or its hidden somewhere- I'm quite new to Illustrator). However, I can still create a 'live paint group' using 'Objects-live paint-make' in the drop down menu at the top of the screen. it is just the button that is absent, so I can't colour the object. I'm not sure if it the button was ever there as I only installed the software a couple of weeks ago. I only needed it now. I have not yet tried re-installing Illustrator. This is really a last resort. I'm using Windows Vista if that helps.
Any help is much appreciated.

The the Shape Builder TLive Paint Bucket tool lives together with the Shape Builder Tool and the Live Paint Selection Tool in one toolgroup. To reach either of them without using a shortcut simply press the tool shown and hold and you will see the other tools and can choose them. That's the method with all tools that have a small black arrow in the bottom righthand corner of its toolbutton., more tools hide in the same group.

Where's the "Paint Bucket"?

I just recently uploaded the free 30 day trial of Photoshop CS5 Extended. I currently have Photoshop 7, but what I want to know is... where is the "Paint Bucket"?

Most of the tools on the Tools panel have multiple choices. This keeps the panel small while making a large number of tools available to you. Click and hold on any one of the panel boxes to see all your choices.
The Paint Bucket Tool is here:

Live Paint Bucket in CS5

Using Illustrator on a Windows box running XP sp3 with an Intuos 2
I've been using Illustrator CS2 for awhile and have upgraded to CS5. I need some help with a problem I'm experiencing with the Live Paint Bucket. I select the illustration, go to Object > Live Paint > Make and get the Blue bouning box. I choose my Fill and Stroke colors and go to work. It seems to work until I get a closer view, around 800%, and then I notice that the stroke isn't filling in some of the strokes completely (there appear to be gaps within the Path that don't show in a normal view). Its leaving artifacts (I don't know what else to call them) unstroked. I've attached two two examples of these artifacts. I've also tried to correct this with the Live Paint Selection Tool which I'm also having a problem with. I've released the Live Paint group and checked that all my paths connect and have corrected any problems I can see.
This hasn't helped either. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong. I've consulted the Help and either I can't read English with comprehension or........I can't find the correct words to bring up the problem.
I thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

I'll try to help. Since I don't know what you expect to see, it is hard to say what you're doing wrong. The gold line end, in the top left boxed area, can be selected with the Live Paint Selection tool and either deleted or painted with "none". Clicking on the line can be tricking with the selection tool because it tends to select the fill instead. Zoom in and you will see when it's selected, then just hit "delete" or type "/" to assign a stroke color of "none" to the selection.
You can also using the Live Paint Bucket tool to do this. With the Bucket tool active, hold "shift" to highlight strokes, then choose "none" and click. You can scroll through the color choices using the left and right arrow tools.
I'm not sure what you want to change in the center section. Remember, you don't have to release the Live Paint object to make edits to the paths with the pen or pencil tools. They remain fully editable. You can also add new paths to the Live Paint object by either working in "isolation mode" or by dragging paths into the Live Paint object within the Layers Panel.
