Yes, this is a silly question

Every pure white pixel (255,255,255) is considered a province. The players might think of it as only a center of a province, but for the game, everything else is just fluff. If you happen to have lots of white pixels around, every one of them in considered a province. You have to change them to merely look like white.

Photoshop, of course, has tools for choosing all the white pixels at once. It can be used to select areas of similar color, but if you just set the tolerance to zero and main color to white, it will select all pure white pixels and nothing more. Then change the color (255, 255, 255) to (*254*, 255, 255) or so, and you will have no capitals. Then you have to manually re-enter them. The map editor of DomII can't add these pixels, it just helps you to connect neighbours and choose terrains when the map is ready.
