Hi, is there a way to filll in shapes that have gaps without the colour bleeding all over the rest of the page?

For instance in Macromedia Flash there's an option to close small, medium, large gaps so that the colour remains within the shape.

I'm using Photoshop 7.0 and I've attatched a little jpeg of what I mean.

Thanks a lot

Lyle

I've never seen a way...What I do is close the opening with the same color I'm filling with and stops the bleeding.

for that image, you could just use the magic wand tool to select the purple bit of the image, and go to edit, stroke, 2 px, and use the eyedropper tool to select the colour of the previous outside border
