Bug in Paintbrush tool

[KrisVDM]

How to reproduce:

- Start from a new image

- Set primary color to red: 153, green: 179, blue: 204

- Use Paint Bucket to fill entire image with this color

- Choose Paintbrush tool, set Brush width to 200, Fill to solid color, antialiasing enabled, normal blending

- Draw a bit

- Choose Magic Wand, set selection mode to replace, flood mode to contiguous, Tolerance to zero

- Click anywhere in the image where you did not draw

Expected outcome: everyting is selected

Actual outcome: everything is selected, except some pixels left at the edges of the brush circles

PDN version: 3.5.5 running on Windows 7 64 bit

I expect there is a rounding error in the normal blending of the atialiased pixels.

Either the antialiased pixels do not have the same color (they are expected to have a different alpha, but the same RGB), or the alphablend has a rounding problem. Blending a color with itself should yield the same color.

I often use this technique to remove noise in what should be solid color regions. Looks like that's not a good idea...

This repros for me. However while testing this out I noticed that works on most most colors except for:

• Black (0, 0, 0)
• White (255, 255, 255)
• Red (255, 0, 0)
• Green (0, 255, 0)
• Blue (0, 0, 255)
• Yellow (255, 255, 0)
• Cyan (0, 255, 255)
• Magenta (255, 0, 255)

It seems that if all the sliders are set to 0 or 255 then the rounding error or whatever is causing this problem doesn't seem to take place.

This is just how GDI+ is doing things. Oh well.
