Interactive region coloring techniques as implemented by a computing device are described to provide a user with the tactile experience of coloring in a region with digital paint, while at the same time allowing the user to manually fill the region with digital paint with more apparent skill and precision than they may input. For each of multiple pixels on the digital medium, the system obtains one or both of a distance value that indicates a distance to a nearby point (e.g., the closest point) on an outline on the digital medium and a direction value that indicates a direction to the nearby point on the outline. A manner in which the digital paint is applied to the region (e.g., forces affecting paint flow, dynamically adjusting brush size or position) is determined based on one or both of the distance value and the direction value.

Digital paint generation techniques and systems are described that are configured to bridge a perceived divide between functionality made available to users to create digital content and the users' understanding as to how this functionality is to be used. A variety of techniques and systems are described that support this expansion. In one example, interaction of physical digital paint properties with each other as part of generating digital paint is used to expand functionality of digital paint generation beyond conventional color selection techniques.

Digital paint generation techniques and systems are described that are configured to bridge a perceived divide between functionality made available to users to create digital content and the users' understanding as to how this functionality is to be used. A variety of techniques and systems are described that support this expansion. In one example, container representation and hierarchical storage such that previously generated digital paints and combinations of those paints may be used to generate a new digital paint, which is not possible using conventional techniques.

Digital paint generation, container representation, and hierarchical storage

Digital paint generation techniques and systems are described that are configured to bridge a perceived divide between functionality made available to users to create digital image and the users' understanding as to how this functionality is to be used. A variety of techniques and systems are described that support this expansion. In one example, a control is used to adjust color and/or physical digital paint properties to generate digital paint. Further, feedback is also supported such that the digital paint generated from properties is changed in real time as changes are made to the properties, e.g., amounts of digital paint properties used to generate the digital paint.

Digital paint generation techniques and systems are described that are configured to bridge a perceived divide between functionality made available to users to create digital image and the users' understanding as to how this functionality is to be used. In one example, a mix control is used to adjust color and/or physical digital paint properties to generate digital paint. Further, feedback is also supported such that the digital paint generated from properties is changed in real time as changes are made to the properties, e.g., amounts of digital paint properties used to generate the digital paint.
