I've tested with some antialiased brushes and is possible to have a good fill with two steps: - a border stroke closed (1) - fill (2) - select color of border and re-fill (3) [image: Inline image 1] > I've had some feedback via Twitter saying that the Fill to New Layer > option is too confusing in use and that users should just be expected > to make a new layer, turn on Sample Merged, turn off irrelevant > layers, and fill the new one.

So, to have the fill color on a new layer is very practical in this cases. Otherwise... turn off 'new layer' and proceeds only with Sample Merged or not enabled.

Another possibility is Shift+B, the same gimp shortcut.
