Making alterations to the region boundaries

Sometimes it's necessary to make alterations to the region boundary lines in a drawing. In most cases, the scanned drawings are processed correctly to produce perfectly-defined paint regions, but sometimes errors occur, especially if the drawings are rough. Fortunately, it's easy to correct these:

Choose the Pencil tool:

: or the Eraser tool:

Locate the part of the boundary line you want to alter and draw into it.

Select the Fill Paint tool and move the cursor into the region to check if the alteration has been successful.

If there's a gap in a boundary line defining a region, you can close it; if there is a boundary line creating a region where there shouldn't be one, you can remove it.

To repair a gap in a boundary line, choose the Pencil tool and use it to join the two ends of the existing boundary line.

To make a break in a boundary line, select the Eraser tool and draw over the parts of the boundary line that you want to erase. It's not necessary to erase the whole boundary line; just making a small gap in it will merge the two regions either side of the boundary.

Note that when you make changes to boundaries, either by erasing part of a line, or by drawing in a boundary line with the Pencil tool, any existing painted regions will become unpainted again.
