NEWBIE ALERT !! I downloaded a stained glass pattern outline as a JPG. I resized it and proceeded to colour it in to make selections easy for pasting to a vinyl pattern drawing. When i used the fill tool , I notice there is quite a bit of white between the fill and pixelated black lines. I want to get rid of the black pixelated lines, be left with a smooth sharp color transition and then use the shear width setting to take care of borders. Some photos are attached. Your help is appreciated.
