Krita: Filling a whole selection or layer

Question

I need to fill a selection or layer with pure white. I couldn't figure out how I will do that. It's relatively easy to do via layer effects in Photoshop. But there are no layer effects.

Cheers

Answer 1

Fill Tool

Fill a contiguous area of color with a color or fill a selection. Clicking anywhere on the screen with the fill tool will allow that area to be filled with the foreground color. You can select the foreground color from the Advanced Color Selector pane.

Fill Tool Options

Click the paint bucket fill tool icon in the Krita toolbox to show the Fill Tool Options pane in the upper right corner of the Krita window.

Threshold
⠀⠀⠀^{Determines when the fill tool sees another color as a border.}
Grow/shrink selection
⠀⠀⠀^{This value grows/shrinks the shape beyond its initial size.}
Feathering radius
⠀⠀⠀^{This value will add a soft border to the filled shape.}
Fill entire selection
⠀⠀⠀^{Activating this will result in the shape filling the whole of the active selection, regardless of threshold.}
Limit to current layer
⠀⠀⠀_{Use this option to fill the entire selection with the foreground color.}
⠀⠀⠀^{Activating this will prevent the fill tool from taking other layers into account.}
Use pattern
⠀⠀⠀^{Ticking this will result in the active pattern being used.}
