Hi friends,
I think I make mistakes in using the bucket-fill - option of GIMP.
I want to use it for colouring (don't grin - by different shades of grey 5-10%) to make in black-and-white maps details like lakes or defined areas better visible.
I tried it as follows: I choose the layer where to use the fill in, choose the colour and click to the area, but the whole layer is coloured. I searched for help via the GIMP website, but I was not successful following the advices.
So at the moment I use the fill-in-option of Photoshop 6, but that's much too complicated: Export from GIMP to tiff, import to Photoshop, fill-in, save as tiff, re-import to GIMP as a new layer.
My file is about 1,3 GB (!) with 57 layers and Photoshop 6 is not able to work with any file as big.
I appreciate yor help!
Konrad
