How To Fill or Delete Within A Bordered Area?
#4
Have to confess, I do not really understand most of this, but then I am easily confused.

Always better if possible to give some sort of image or even part of an image.

Well that is the fuzzy select but then the selection inverted Select -> Invert

Quote:Being smart enough to identify an enclosed area if there is one and delete only within it.

That might be using the fuzzy select in addition mode.

As an example:

This image using fuzzy select as it usually starts. The mode is replace and the threshold is 15. Click in the coloured background only part selected screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/1kWpzTj.jpg

Make a more comprehensive selection by increasing the value of threshold https://i.imgur.com/bhe5cqs.jpg That selects the background only.

To select another contiguous area then put the fuzzy select tool into addition mode. The tool icon now has a '+' next to it and as the name suggests, adds to the selection. https://i.imgur.com/ldbzFu3.jpg

Now if you cut (or) fill the selection you get https://i.imgur.com/ZCMCbx9.jpg

Just a reminder: If Save-tool-options-on-exit is in force, now is the time to return those settings back to original.
