how to fll / draw areas

[JackRnl]

Having a picture I wanted to remove background and save the remaining (a woman) with a transparent background.
So I've been using 'polygon' and removed all outside the selected region and indeed it works : I can save that pic and put her onto another pic.
(Pls tell me if there is an easier or otherwise better possibility to achieve this [like 'automatic selection' or so).
But unfortunally a small part of her shoulder also became transparent because of lightfall and tolerancy while creating transparent picture.
Now I want to color that part using colors near to that par of her shoulder.
When I open the GIFfile i do see the usual tools for drawing (colorpalet, selection tool, fill tool, spray tool etc) but i just can't get things working, i just can't draw nor use some kind of gradient fill.
How can I actually USE those tools or what can I use to achieve my goal and 'restore/fill' her shoulder?

Yes you can't work with Adjust or Filter on a gif file as long as it :
- remains in Indexed color
- keeps some transparent area.
=> Menu/Image/Mode/RVB
=> Menu/Image/Transparent colour/Disable transparency

The transparency becomes pale-green, so you can repair or copy the shoulder (with stamp tool in pattern mode, if you have copied the original picture).

Have you red the responses at your last subject ?
