Again I want to say thanks to all of you that helped me. I have another 77 images to process, and what you have sent me helped a lot.
I was not able to follow the trick for "painting" 100+ different areas the same color, at the same time. As I stated before I am an absolute newbie to Gimp, and sometimes have need little "extra" help in understanding how to do a step/process/procedure, and why. Any other help would be appreciated.

THANK YOU! I have been burning brain cells on this for a while. I do have one final question. Like in the case where there was green in all sorts of places, how could I go and change all the green areas to any color that I want, in only a couple of clicks?

Hi Brent, This is pretty simple in terms of getting the selected area with this particular image: Load the image into gimp. Choose the color selection tool. Set Threshold to 30 Click on the darker green area. At least for your sample map, that got everything. Note that the color on your sample map is not uniform, which is why the threshold has to be upped from the default (15) to 30. If it doesn't get everything, start over (undo the last operation or exit and start over), up the threshold some more and click on missing areas until you get them all. This works relatively pain-free because there is no similar green anywhere in the image. Edit/Copy to copy the selected area. Select/None to deselect everything File/New Click to expand "Advanced Options" Set "Fill with" to transparency Edit/Paste You should have just the green areas Close the window containing the original image If you don't have the layers dialog open, bring it up. You should see a "Floating Selection" Click the anchor button along the bottom (next to the trashcan) to anchor the pasted stuff into the background.
