Wow. Thanks a lot for the help I tried paint bucket, and found that changing the flood mode to global, as oppose to contiguous will fill that ENTIRE section and keep the lines with antialias disabled. That's great for coloring the carbody of the locomotive, but in places like the frame where the sky background is visible, it colors that in as well. Does that have to do with the tolerance at all?

First off, here's the link to the source of the drawings that I work with: http://trainiax.net/ Below is an example of my painted versus the original unpainted version, below that. Now. What I do, is I make any changes that I want while the drawing is plain white, as you'll see. Then I color in the smaller details (such as the brown on the couplers and wheels and rail.) Then I'll go in up to 1200-1600% zoom levels to take the drawing section by section. If you zoom in on the image, you can see what I work with, pixel art, and all. But what I'm looking for is a way that I can color a WHOLE section by selecting with the select tool, setting the colors, then clicking inside that section once and the paint looks for that color such as (Primary color will replace the Secondary color [selected section; White].) In hopes to eliminate taking the drawing section at a time and destroying my mouse going around and repeatedly clicking throughout these pixels. Similar to going into MS Word and doing a "Find and Replace" where you type the word that you want replaced with one to replace it, while retaining the font and text size exactly as they were. I hope this made sense.

I'm not sure if this question has been answered or not, but for the record, I did a search for answers to my question. But anyways, is there any way to highlight a section of a picture or, in my case, a .GIF drawing, and replace one color with another to eliminate having to go through and color every pixel individually? The drawings I work with, as mentioned earlier, are downloaded and published .GIF, but I edit them as .PNG's to eliminate the grainy look when saving the finished drawing, therefore, making it still able to edit. If anyone could make suggestions or has a way to solve this, please let me know. It is greatly appreciated
