Any ideas how to remove the pixellation on a pretty basic image?

I obtained this map in pure black/white
I want to colour it in.. sadly its all pixellated



Any ideas how to fix this?

1 - Don't use MSPaint.
2 - Use something that can do Brightness-Contrast.
3 - Apply Contrast to maximum, brightness adjust to your liking.
4 - Voila! A map with 2 colors (black, specifically #000000, and white, specifically #FFFFFF) and none of those minor variations that cause the "pixelation."

Could you please do that.. or does vista come with such a program?

download paint.NET. It's free.

No, I can't, because (1) I don't have my PC with all my stuff with me right now, and (2) I barely have any time to do stuff even for myself.

EDIT: Paint.NET (which I use) needs the .NET Framework. Might not suit Abaddon's taste to get another extra thing (which, coincidentally, is used for other programs as well).

My methods:
#1: use a magic wand with some tolerance for near colours (if you have the technology), select the pixellated area that should be pure white, and make it so.

#2: convert the image to a 3-colour pallette, forcing the computer to allocate every pixel to either white, grey or black. Then convert back to RGB colour or whatever.

Thats what I did on my trusty micrografix picture publisher 8 (10 year old program!), took about 2 minutes.

Now I'm afraid you have to manually fill in the gaps in the black borders

Let me know if you can't work with PNG's... I guess a GIF or a zipped BMP would work. Whereas a JPG would take us back to square one.

You only need MS paint.

In MS paint save original B&W image as a monochrome. Copy and paste into new untitled MS paint and color away.

Thankyou. Thread done
