Here is a simple grid that I filled one click at a time and changing foreground color as I went along: You can change the foreground color and click grid cells with the new colorħ) When done, go back into Files >Scripts >Scripts Event Manager and turn off the event by unclicking the checkbox in upper left corner (you will regret it if you don't do this last step) Setting Anti-Alias is optionalĥ) Select desired foreground color from the foreground color chip in the toolboxĦ) Click in the middle of the grid area you want filled and the grid square will be automatically filled with the foreground color. I used "Point Sample" and tolerance of 8 yet this depends on the background color of your grid. CRITICAL CRITICAL CRITICAL after doing these steps you need to click on the "Add" button to have this event activatedģ) I will assume you have already set the grid and a Layer above for the fill action you needĤ) Select the Magic Wand Tool with a simple select mode, contiguous, and sample all Layers. Back in the original dialog box click the check box to run an Action and select the Action Set and Action you created in #1 above. This is the event for a simple selection (not add to, subtract from, exclusive or select)

The upper box is just a descriptor name (you can name it anything) the second box must be set to lower case "setd" without the quotes as shown. Click on the dropdown box "Photoshop Event" and select the option "Add an Event" Click on the checkbox in upper left corner labeled "Enable Events to Run Scripts/Actions" This can be achieved by using the capability under File > Scripts > Script Event Manager along with a very simple Actionġ) Create an Action that all it does is a Fill command using Foreground using Cmd +Opt keyboard shortcut (Cntrl + Alt for PCs) Remember where you park your Action Well, there is a way to both select and fill at the same time yet it may not be everyone's cup of tea or for the faint of heart.
