Hi, I just started working with Photoshop, so I might be making some stupid rookie mistake...but I can't figure out what the hell could be wrong.

When I draw something on a dark background it just vanishes as soon as I fill the area with the paint bucket!

If I have a dark grey background, and draw something in black using the brush, when I try to fill the drawing, for instance green, with the paint bucket, the entire picture becomes green!
It was as if the drawing was never there.

At first I thought I had some wierd setting on my brush, but the wierd thing is that this only happens when I use dark colors.
Doing the exact same thing with yellow and red, works perfectly fine.

Anyone know what's up?

check the fill settings to see if you have selected color only etc. Try filling with "Normal" selected.

hi,
a couple of things to check
1. look at your tolerance setting maybe too high

2. also check and see if the contigeous box ... is checked for the paint bucked

3. when you make a inclused line where your going to fill, make sure there no gaps!!

those are thing ithink of.
