Color : Limiting and preventing leakage
Quick links to procedures on this page:
In complex drawings, lines don’t always meet, which can cause the fill to leak into areas that you don’t want filled — sometimes through the whole image. You can’t always tell if there’s a leak just by looking at your image. If you click a small area and see the prompt, Now Looking for Extent of Fill, there’s probably a leak, and Corel Painter is preparing to fill a bigger area than you had in mind. In this case, you can abort the fill.
You can limit leakage to a specific rectangular area. In typical cartoon line work, unbounded areas — for example, hair, tail feathers, and brush bristles — sometimes must be filled. By limiting leakage to a specific area, you can close off these items. You can also close leaks by copying the lines to a selection, saving the selection to a channel, editing the channel, and then reloading it to the selection. For more information about editing channels, refer to Editing channels.

Edit the channel to close leaks. Remember to load the channel back into the selection after editing.
