Very good, worked well on another postmark I had. Smile

Sometimes it would also be helpful to be able to fill all the areas of a particular colour - is that possible too ?

Do a "Select by color", click on a pixel of the desired color to select all pixels with the same (or near the same, depending on threshold) then bucket fill the selection.

Howeverr... on your stamps this may not work too well because what looks like the same color all over is made of rather different pixels. So you have to play tricks... For instance, duplicate the layer, and blur it a bit to make the color more uniform, make a selection from this and use that selection to paint the initial layer.  The Color selector can also use more advanced criteria than just the color (aka Comoiste): any of the RGB channels, hue, saturation, luminosity....

Plus some pictures are very easy: open the Channels list for your picture, and you can see that the red channel is already pretty much the picture you want:

   

You just have to drag it to the toolbox to copy it as a new image, or to the canvas to obtain it as a new layer.
