How do you create a solid fill layer using the current foreground color?

1. Click on the Eraser Tool

2. Use the Paint Bucket Tool

3. Click the black/white circle, select Solid Color

4. Open the Color Picker and choose a color

The correct answer is: Click the black/white circle, select Solid Color

Creating a solid fill layer using the current foreground color involves selecting the right tool and method within the software. When you click the black/white circle, you gain access to the layer styles menu, allowing you to choose a Solid Color fill. This method is specifically designed to create a new layer filled with the chosen color, which will be based on the current foreground color set in the color palette. The other options do not facilitate the creation of a solid fill layer in the same manner. For instance, using the Paint Bucket Tool does fill the selected area with color, but it doesn't create a new layer dedicated solely to that color. Choosing the Eraser Tool will instead remove color from the canvas, and while opening the Color Picker lets you select a color, it does not execute the action of creating the solid fill layer by itself without further steps. Thus, selecting the black/white circle to create a Solid Color layer is the most direct and effective method for achieving a solid fill with the foreground color.
