MS Paint color replacing eraser?

AJ

❖☢☼☯☾♛☮
ive seen and heard that in paint, by selecting a color for both foreground and background, you can replace the foreground color with the background by right clicking and "erasing" the foreground color, i have tried this, and it just makes large squares in the background color everywhere. Can someone help me?

That removes all colors in the picture matching the color you selected. However, images for various reasons (i.e compression artifacts) often have speckles of slightly lighter/darker colors throughout the picture, and lines in art often have whitish pixels along the edges (for the purpose of giving the line a smooth appearence). There is no way to automatically circumvent such occurences, you'll have to manually remove them.

In general, you'll get much nicer results manually removing whatever chunk you'd like removed.
