Can someone help me with the attached car icon for my 03 Merc? When it displays on my TomTom, there is a horizontal red line about 3 pixels long floating a couple of pixels above the left side roof line that I can't get rid of. Could someone "get the red out" for me? Thanks. :eek:

You're welcome, Barcard. You should install gimp for windows and play with it. I opened your icon and chose "Select by Color", set the threshhold to 0, and clicked the red area. all but your problem area was selected. Then I right clicked on the image and selected "Select" then "Invert" and now the problem area was selected. I set foreground color to pure red, (RGB 255,0,0) and painted the area with an appropriate brush. Viola! I found that your floating line was (RGB 253,8,8)
 
Thanks for the tip. I knew those pixels weren't pure red (255,0,0), but I was having trouble selecting them. Using the paint bucket tool (in Photoshop Elements) and reapplying pure red to the red area did not do it. It's also a mystery to me why that one short line was not pure red to start with. Well, it looks good now, so thanks again!
