How to get rid of stray pixels?
So I'm working on this huge scan of a map, about 15.000 x 15.000 pixels. The background is cleared, so most of the file is transparent pixels as in the attached (very small) sample, and inbetween the lines and text of the map.
![]()
Problem is, I got countless stray pixels of all colors left (not on the sample image, at least not visible ones). While I can make them visible easily enough with Curves or other means, they are just way too many to delete manually with such a huge file.
I would imagine there is a way to select only objects in an image of a certain size, say, nothing larger than 1x1, 2x2, 3x3, 5x5 pixels, is there? With an option like that, I could just select all of the tiny stuff and delete it with one stroke of a key without affecting the larger structures at all. I've been trying different tools to achieve that but haven't found a way yet. Does something like that exist?
