: How would you fill past a boundary in Photoshop? By default, the fill tool in Photoshop with contiguous on, would perform an operation such that the specified colour floods until it touches

@Frith110

You can't use it with the fill tool, but maybe you can write a script that combines the select, expand and fill tools to achieve your desired result.

I don't know that it's possible with just the Fill tool, but there are a couple ways to do this. You could instead use the Magic Wand tool to make a selection then use Select > Modify > Expand... to add your "stroke", then fill it with Edit > Fill...

Another way you already said it yourself...it's just a stroke, so you could just add a stroke to the layer. Start by creating a new empty layer, then make sure Contiguous and All Layers are checked in the fill tool options



Fill your area, then add a Stroke with the same fill color.



I would prefer the latter method as it would allow me to modify the width of the stroke later on if necessary.
