Fuzzy Outlines !

Hi guys n girls :)

Ive just got PSPP X2, i'm a total dummy though !

I have found a symbol of the unofficial Spanish symbol "the black bull". I'd like to flood fill the bull red and the background black. When i fill the bull it looks ok but then i fill the background i get this horrible white, patchy line all round the outside of the bull and looks terrible.

I bet there's a real easy fix for this but I can't find one no matter how hard i try ! Anyone nice enough out there to help me out ?

Would really appreciate it :o

TY people.
Danny.

Its hard to say without seeing the image and your results or even what steps you took.
Most likely this is because of Anti -Aliasing This is where pixels on the edge of two colours are a Mix of those two colours. This makes it difficult to get a clean edge when making a selection. Again with out seeing what you have done suggestions are guesses. But if you selected the bull and filed it with red and it looks good Contract the selection ( Selections. modify. contract) by 1 pixel to get rid of the edge then promote selection to a layer. You should now have the red bull on a layer of its own and ca either copy and paste as a new image and save for further use, Or just flood file the original background layer.

I would suggest taking a black small soft paint brush and painting over that white patchyness. I know what you're talking about, and that's how i usually fix it.
