Unable to use select->same->fill color in tiff image

Hi!

After sampling a color in a simple image, and using the select->same->fill color option, nothing gets selected. I tried using various images. Please let me know if this is a bug.

I am simply trying to select all of the pixels that are white. I am running adobe illustrator 2013 and macOS ventura 13.1.

To select pixels, you will need to use Photoshop. In Illustrator, select->same->fill color will only choose vector-path fills.

My goal is to set all pixels that are white to the same new color.

Best handled in Photoshop. AI is a vector application not raster.
