Hi! I would like to create some 8-bit pixel art, and I'm considering using GIMP for it.
The image I'm creating uses index color with a 256-color palette. My question is the following: I would like to recolor all the pixels in a selected part of my image from one color to another, without changing the palette nor the rest of the image.
I've learnt how to use the Color Selection tool (Shift-O) to pick a specific color, and to replace it with the foreground color (Command-,). However, by doing this, the color is replaced over the entire image. I tried to select a rectangular area before ®, but then, right after I pick the color to be changed, my selection is gone and the replacement takes effect over the whole image.
Is there a way to restrict the swapping to just part of my image?
I'm using GIMP 2.10.38 on OSX 10.13.6 .
Thanks in advance!
