Hi thanks in advance I'm going round in circles trying to do this. I have scanned images which I need to colour with the paint fill, but it's only doing the outline, what am I doing wrong please?
Thanks for your speedy reply! I am reading it but it's not making any sense to me - sorry, I'm definitely a visual learner, do you happen to know of any video?
Your color has an Alpha value of 0. Alpha controls transparency. An Alpha value of 100 is opaque; 0 is transparent; and in between is translucent. If you increase the Alpha to 100, you should be able to see the fill color. I have this same problem all the time. I'm like, "What's going on here? Why is it empty?" And then I notice that the Alpha is turned down.

The bucket tool appears to have no opacity to the red fill color and green stroke.
