# Filling a Region with an Image

You can fill a region of an image with a reference image instead of a colour. The front, back, or result image can be used as the reference image. The Wash, Shade, Clone, or Reveal media can also be used to perform the fill.

To fill a region with a reference image:

1. Click Fill.

   The Fill controls appear.

   (a) Colour Model box

2. Select the colour model and channels you want to work with.
3. Set the range and softness in the Range and Softness fields.
4. Select the Special Effects medium you want to use (Clone, Reveal, Wash, or Shade). See Using Special Effects Media.
5. Set the Reference box to Front, Back, Result, or Saved, and set the brush opacity.

   A value of 100% fills the area completely with the reference image.

6. Enable Medium.
7. Select a point in the area you want to fill.
