Inverse color selection? - Wobblie - 09-04-2017 Hi, I have a bunch of dark brown colors surrounded by blue. The dark brown regions are not all uniformly dark brown. Is there a way to select a region within the blue outline (the predominantly dark brown) and color it all brown? Thanks RE: Inverse color selection? - Blighty - 09-04-2017 The Fuzzy Select tool should do it, with suitable Mode and Threshold. RE: Inverse color selection? - Wobblie - 09-04-2017 Thanks works like a charm. spoke too soon!! No matter how high I raise the threshold. I can seem to capture everything in the object. Or conversely, if I select the darker blue outline then the various colors get incorporated with the shapes. Thanks. RE: Inverse color selection? - Ofnuts - 09-04-2017 As far as I can tell (with the help of Gimp's analysis tools(*)) your brown areas are a uniform color, except on the edges (where pixels are a mix of the two adjacent colors, as usually done for anti-aliasing), and near the edges due to JPEG compression artifacts. But the core of the areas is uniform. So, what non-brown color do you want to recolor? Because if you recolor the edge pixels, the edges will look pixellated. (*) Namely Make a fuzzy select on the area Shrink the selection to get far enough from the 5x5 pixels due to your zooming in the screen shot The 8x8 "boxes" of the JPEG compression Color>Info>Colorcube analysis: "Only one unique color".
