errya Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Hey guys, Just a quick question. I'm editing a map on paint.net which I drew on paper first and then scanned. I wanted to use the fill tool to make the ocean blue, but there must be near-invisible little gaps in most of my landmasses, since they turned blue too. I might be able to find them by trial and error/sealing off certain areas, but since my map is so big (almost 10000 x 10000 pixels) it takes literally 3 minutes for for it to fill. Does anyone know of a faster way to find these little pixel-wide gaps? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRON67 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) Instead of looking for the gaps tedious, I would rather amplify a little the lines with which the land masses are hopefully surrounded by an effect such as "Stylize → Outline" or "Artistic → Contour".

pyrochild Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 You could also try a Median blur (Effects > Noise > Median) 1 Quote ambigram signature by Kemaru [i write plugins and stuff] If you like a post, upvote it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
errya Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 Thanks for your help. It turned out to mainly be a layers issue, but there were a few holes which you advice was helpful to find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
