A bit of help would be great!

Hi to all.

OK

I have a blank image 725 x 25 pixels - all I want to do is draw a 45 degree line half way through the image then have one side white (or transparent - doesn't matter) and the other side a different colour. Its for the bottom right hand side of a banner so I can have scrolling text on the left

I know how to use the paint bucket tool etc.

What I tried to do was to use the line tool to make the angle across the image but it won't let me colour either side.

What am I doung wrong??

I'm on P7

Any help would be great - sorry for being a bit stupid!

Select half of it with the rectangular select tool. Then use the polygonal select tool in "subtract" mode and hold down SHIFT to take away part from the selection. Then hit SHIFT+Backspace and fill it in.
