Hi. I have a quesstion. Is there any easy/fast way to do the following:

Say I have a cartoon-like image of a face, outlined in black, and filled in with a background color. The image was saved as a .jpg so it got anti-aliased and the black outline & background instead of being 2 shades (one for the background, one for the outline) became many shades. Aside from the painstakingly long process of erasing all background pixels and replacing it, yet again with all the same shade, is there another, perferably easier and faster method of doing this.

I hope I made sense of what I'm trying to do. If not, let me know and I will try to be more clear. :) Thanks.

I think I understand, but could you post a picture for us to see EXACTLY what you're talking about?

Alright, no problem. If you were to look at a picture like this:



and magnify it, you can see that the brown in the background is one solid shade, until it gets closer to the black outline on the character, then it becomes multiple shades of brown. I want it all to be the exact same shade. :) Hope that helps make it more clear.

Start cutting with the pen tool.

Select, inverse, fill with brown.
