I realize this is barely about Harvest Moon but...., I need help in "Paint" Options

[DreamerGirl]

So I drew a lineart of Luke, and I wanted to colour it in "Paint". I scanned and started it, but then saved it and logged off my computer. The next day, I tried to continue, but near the lines, were huge amounts of pixels of various off-whit colours that make it impossible to use "bucket". This isn't the first time its happened either.... :(
Any Ideas?

Saving it as a GIF will also do that. Even if it's a black and white picture itself, telling your printer to scan it to your computer as a black and white under the settings thing should fix it, if it's the scanning process that's causing the unwanted off-whites, etc.

Even editing it through paint just to re-save it as a monochrome bitmap might even be an easy fix and you wouldn't have to rescan it. It just depends if the off colors are more white or more black. It causes the picture to become a solid black and white.

And I wouldn't be worried about topics not being Harvest Moon related, that's what all these other sections and topics are for.
