How do you achieve this step? Create a new copy of the smaller ellipse and make it yellow, which will make the paint's surface (2a). Position it inside the bucket, erasing the unnecessary pixels (2b). Name this layer "paint." Thanks for the tutorials! I new to photoshop and am use to illustrator. How do you achieve this step?

If so then you can definitely fill selections with colors, believe me. The shortcut I gave you was wrong, though. Sorry. It's Alt+Backspace/Cmd+Backspace. I use the shortcuts without thinking then when I have to explain them sometimes I screw up...Hope it works now. Did you rasterize the shapes?

Create a new copy of the smaller ellipse and make it yellow, which will make the paint's surface (2a). Position it inside the bucket, erasing the unnecessary pixels (2b). Name this layer "paint." Now make a rectangular selection with the Marquee Tool (M) on the "bottom" layer and fill it to complete the bucket (2c). With the "bottom" layer selected hit Command + T to invoke the Free Transform Tool. Right-click and choose Perspective. Now drag the bottom corners towards the center to apply the correct perspective deformation (2d). From these directions I don`t know which layer I`m suppose to be on when I make the selection marquee. If I`m suppose to be on the "bottom" layer there is no way the selection marquee can be filled with a color. If you are suppose to be on the "paint" layer the marquee will only fill with the yellow color. Your Alt+Enter, CMD+Enter instructions don`t work either. I`m using CS4. These are your instructions for Step 2.

I made the selection marquee and neither of instructions filled the selection marquee with gray When the thumbnail is chosen in the layer, and I press CMD+Return, the selection marquee then wraps around the elipse. the elipse can then be transformed but not the marquee.
