How do I fix this please?

Here I exported at 4x the desired resolution followed by a downsample to the target res:

Thanks Rob - a good solution that's going to save a lot of hours work. I was selecting and filling the areas before. Upwards of  20-30 steps before depending how many insecting points there were on the table. Now just 1 exrta step. Regards
