Using the Magic Wand tool

Now we're going to try something a little bit different.  We are going to select 3 parts of the image so that whatever we do to one of the parts, exactly the same thing happens to all of the selected parts.

Go back to your Magic Wand tool

On your image, single left click on one of the parts of the image - just like you did on the 2 circles you've just filled.  

Now you need to hold down your Shift key.  A tiny "+" will appear to the side of your cursor - that means PSP is going to add another section of the image to the part you've already selected (the bit with the marching ants).  

While holding down your Shift key, single left click on another part of your image so that you have marching ants around 2 different sections of the image

Do the same again to select your 3rd part of the image - hold down your Shift key and single left click on another section of the image.

You should now have marching ants around 3 parts of your image.  

Go back to your Flood Fill tool and choose whichever colour, gradient or pattern you want to have in those 3 sections.  I'm going to use a pattern this time.

Click inside *one* of the selections you've just made and you'll notice that all 3 of the parts have been filled in exactly the same way:

Now you need to deselect those parts so go to the Selections Menu and then Select none (or hit Ctrl D)

As well as adding different parts to the selection, you can also take some away too.

Go back to your Magic Wand tool again , hold down your Shift key and select 5 different sections in your image.  I'm going to select the bottom 5

Hmmm.  I've just decided that I don't want to have those 5 bits all filled in the same way so I'm going to take some of the parts out of the selection.

Hold down your Control (Ctrl) key.  You'll notice that there is a "-" next to your cursor now (like you had the "+" when you added the selections).  This means that PSP is going to take away some of the selected parts so that they aren't included when you fill the sections.

While you are holding down the Control (Ctrl) key, single left click on one of the parts you *don't* want selected.  The marching ants will disappear from that part of your image.

Do the same again with another section you don't want selected... this should leave you with 3 of the original 5 parts of your image selected.

Go back to your Flood Fill tool and choose another different colour, gradient or pattern.  I'm going to use a darker shade of solid yellow this time.

Single left click in one of the selected parts and all 3 sections will be filled in the same way.

You've finished with these parts now, so you need to deselect them.  See if you can remember how to do it without looking back in the tutorial - if you can't, don't worry... just come back here and have a look!  :o)

Only 4 more sections to go now.  Use what you have learnt in this tutorial to fill these in any way that you like, using colours, gradients or patterns.  

This is what my finished image looks like:
