Default Re: Modding Questions

My biggest time-consumer is defining the sprite borders. I draw in pencil, scan, and then I have a BMP of the sprite. But I cannot find a fast way to give it a solid black background, because after I use a "fill" command, there are always stray off-white pixels from the scan... especially around the border of the unit, where I have to very slowly trace a black line.

Furthermore, I cannot even imagine a way to automate this, unless there is some command in GIMP or Paintshop, "Make the picture background solid black, but don't touch pixels that are obviously part of the unit." Is there a command like this?
