: Selecting a region with white colour and making the rest of the image black I'm new to Photoshop. I have an image, where I have drawn a shape and filled that shape with a white colour. How

@Turnbaugh909

On the right of the screen you should see a Layers Panel. Create a New Layer, push it to the bottom. Fill it with Black, Fill is in the Edit menu. You have to select it all first... that's in the Select menu.

I'd suggest watching a couple of youtube videos about Photoshop layers, start with this one: Photoshop CS5: Understanding Layers

A screenshot might be helpful, but I would select the white with your magic wand tool (to be easy and seeing as you are a PS novice), the go Select > Inverse (this will select the rest of the image). Next Edit > Fill > and from the dropdown select Black.
This is the quickest way.
