I was trying to quickly change the attached image file so that the whole background of this woman's head was fairly consistently light coloured.
I am trying to make the left hand side of the background (mostly dark brown and black) on the .xcf image of a woman in the attached file, stella_19apr.xcf [1] look roughly similar to the right hand side of the background (mostly pale pink/brown). To do this, I
1. Used the color picker to select a a pale brown/pink colour on the right-hand side, then
2. Tried to bucket fill some of the regions on the left-hand side.
But the bucket kept filling these areas with very dark brown or black and not the pale pink/brown I thought I had selected.
Could anyone tell me how I could fix this or begin to diagnose this problem?
(I can also see that in that image, I had used the eraser in an attempt to define a clear boundary between her hair and the background. This was how I was trying to prevent the bucket-filled pale brown/pink colour from flowing into the hair, but that is beside the point, here.)
Thank you for your attention.
