How Do I Fill a Selected Area With an Image in Photoshop?

Last updated on January 25, 2023 @ 1:49 pm

There are a few different ways that you can fill a selected area with an image in Photoshop. One way is to use the ‘Paint Bucket’ tool. With the paint bucket tool selected, simply click on the area that you want to fill and the image will be filled in. Another way to fill a selected area with an image is to use the ‘Fill’ command.

To do this, go to Edit > Fill. In the ‘Fill’ dialogue box, select ‘Pattern’ from the ‘Use:’ drop-down menu and then click on the image that you want to use from the ‘Custom Pattern:’ thumbnail previews.

Once you have selected the image, click ‘OK’ and the selected area will be filled with the image.

PRO TIP: If you are using Photoshop to fill a selected area with an image, be aware that this may result in the original image being distorted.
