When I select an area with the lasso tool and try to fill it with the paint bucket, only certain geometries are filled. How do I fill the entire area I selected? I tried using Help but it was waaaay over my head (Ver 6 on Windows). thanks

or even quicker - alt-delete (fill with forground colour) alt-ctrl (fill with background colour...

be careful with edit/fill-> fill with black - this is uses 100% cyan/100% magenta/100% yellow/100% black.

I used to use this option quite a lot untill one day I did a large area on a print job and got way too much ink at press..

Try alt-del to fill with your foreground color or ctrl-del to fill with your background color.

If you want a preview of what's going to be filled switch to quickmask by using the buttons under the color samples in the toolbar (or use the shortcut key, Q toggles on and off).

Your problem might be the tolerance settings on the paintbucket tool. If it's too low you might not fill all the areas you want.
