Every time I try to recolor something, it colors in the border too. This annoys me quite a lot and I would like to know if such a tool exists in the Plugins category or in vanilla GIMP.
(P.S: This is a feature paint.net has, I'm on a macOS, and therefore I cannot use paint.net to complete said objective.)

I wasn't intending to change the color of the other countries, I was attempting to color inside the dark green ones without ruining the border.
also, can i turn off anti-aliasing?

this is what i was trying to do
edit: i was trying to color in parts of the dark green without ruining the border, is that a plugin?

used same procedure as before, recoloring parts of the dark green areas
is this close to what you like to achieve?
when selecting by (contiguous) color set threshold=0
this is what I got

If you want to create a subarea you hace to draw the new (additional) border first

I'm animating a war, not changing the colors of each country (I can do that easily), they're the same color because they're fighting the same war against the Ottomans (in red, meaning they're an aggressor).

2. Switch to the paint pencil tool, and paint inside the active selection EDIT just remembered you do not want anti-aliasing, use the pencil tool instead of the paint tool.



when complete turn off the selection Select -> None

note: as mentioned earlier, that image has no anti-aliasing so very straight forward.

thank you
