Creating a middle path from a irregular selection - DiceMan321 - 06-12-2022
Hello!
I got myself in a pickle so large than I proceed to create an account and write this post on this forum. I'm trying to modify rivers in a map that I'm creating.
Here's one of the rivers:

I came across this post, whos OP got a similiar problem:
https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Creating-a-path-from-the-center-points-of-a-selection
Although the answers were nearly at home of what I need, unfortunately, because of the shape of the rivers I couldn't use answer provided in that post.
That's why I'm asking. Is there a way to create a path going thru the center of the rivers?
PS: sorry for any spelling errors, English is not my first language and I wrote this post in a hurry.
Thanks in advance for any answers!

I duplicated the layer and selected by color. Then Select > Shrink by 1 pixel. The small rivers are only about a pixel wide anyway.

I would just add, then Shift + click on a node/control point or a path line with the path tool, to remove the one you don't want.
