Fills the current selection with the current foreground color. The foreground color is set by using the dropper tool to "pick up" a new color from an image. Alt-click with any other tool, except the magnifying glass, to temporarily switch to the dropper tool. Colors can be "picked up" from the Image/Colors window using any tool. The dropper tool icon in the tool bar is drawn in the foreground color and the frame around it is drawn in the background color.Draw
Outlines the current selection using the current foreground color and line width. The "Colors" window, opened with the Image/Colors command, provides a palette of drawing colors. Colors can be "picked" up from the "Colors" window without having to switch to the dropper tool. Use the Edit/Options/Line Width command, or double-click on the freeline tool, to change the line width.
