Do not despair, Sven - the question is about "one color within a selection" - not the whole selection. Jonathan: You have to further trim down your selection, by using the selection by color and clicking on the desired color. In order for the new selection to be within the original selection, you have to use the "select by color" tool in the "intersection mode" - click on the fourth mode icon, at the top of the tool options dialog, afeter picking the "select by color" tool - check the tool tip to see if it is intersect selection. Then click on the desired color - voilá: only the pixels of taht color that were inside the original selection are selected now, and this is time to "Edit->fill with FG color" If you will be needing the original selection again, tehn you willhave to save it to a channel before doing the select by color step. To do that, go to Selection->save to channel . Tehn. find the layers dialog, and click again to activate the layer you were editing, else, the channel were thev selection has been saved to will be the active drawable, and proceed with the selection by color. After you are done, go to the channels dialog, and follow the instructions on the tooltips of the buttons at the botton to restore your selection. > > > Sven > _______________________________________________ > Gimp-user mailing list > Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu > http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
