Maybe I misunderstand the question. I think I read that the desired outcome is somewhat "solid red" images only (rather than the black lines)? Some stellar ideas above, which came to me first. Lots of options. But some a little more time intensive than others. If I ever find myself getting great advice and just entrenched in that "oh no, wayyyy to complex! dont wanna!" thinking, there is always the manual way that is neither fast, nor glam, nor really impressive. * Add a new "transparent" layer over the one you have and keep it "selected"/draw on this one next > ++zoom in if you have to over your image because you need to see the edges pretty well to do next step > use Free Select tool (lasso) and draw around the outside edge of each image until you meet the point where you started > change to the Bucket Fill tool, make sure Foreground (FG) color fill, and Fill whole selection are yes-checked, mouseover the two "color" boxes to be certain you know what color this tool will fill within the area you just "lassoed", and click inside your lasso zone. ++ = see, that inside that area you lassoed, is not that foreground color, painted on your "transparent" new layer. > Repeat between the ++ above, until all zones are now filled with your FG color. > turn OFF your original layer with the lines. = You have your one color bits all on a layer with transparent background. Yah its gonna take loads more time (to me) than all above suggestions. It isn't a glamorous impressive way to get it done. But if one is a little thrown by other suggestions and still in the intimidation zone (like I was for years), doing it the long way will be a good learning experience. Painful learning experiences spent while avoiding that which seems too complex, have always been wonderful motivators for me to quit avoiding and actually put the time into searching Google and reading the Gimp manual. Truly if I had know I would still be in SL in 2021, I would have acted on learning Gimp years before I did.

*sigh* You ask, "Why Did It Take So Long to [Accept the Facts About Covid]?" New day; insert any issue needing a fix anywhere on Planet X. A. Because many people have a tendency to not treat other people well. And get away with it ad nauseam. Then go home to their private islands. B. Because many people don't listen, they only insist its their way or the highway. Then go home to their private islands and think not what they just did to the rest of the world, or the deadly impact their last action may have had on anyone. C. Because many people once they get even a little tiny bit of virtual-control over a space, their 15 minutes or 140 pages of fame then follows. Then go home to their private islands and think not what they just did to the rest of the world, or the deadly impact their last action may have had on anyone. Their tact is primarily to drown out any opposing opinion, regardless of data proving otherwise or new information coming to light. They storm capitols and steal others' property and then entertain us in tweets complaining they were arrested. D. The world is a collective group of industries competing for favors and resources. E. All of the above. Otherwise, the question, "Why is it that so little gets fixed (and the public keeps falling for it and the rhetoric)?"

So this: So does this mean the house itself and landscaping, do not count against the 351 you are allocated on a 1024?

Inspired to say I just think this is an incredibly generous offer. And it has some of my favorite selections for "window views" also. Great animation options. Security. Casper.

They look to be catering only to an audience that is so extreme in its viewpoint that it is plausible it may work in some markets (until someone gets sick). Then it is gonna be the next news item on Twitter, with some 40s-ish year old grown-up saying, "Oh, if only I'd known then (and chose to turn my back on)...

Just adding that I cannot speak to the Linden Homes. Since I went premie, I've purchased a mainland parcel for a very reasonable sum. For many years I had more than the premie max+tier, but at this point I find the premie 1024 in a reasonable area and several rentals for purposes other than my "home" works better for me. I've never really qualified for a Linden Home therefore. This has enabled me to pick my own house (after house after house lol) at Marketplace or inworld, and been absolutely thrilled, until my next "whim" where a different home layout or theme is my new mood of the day. So of course I don't know what its like to be on a list and waiting for a house or my "happy" delayed in that sense. And I don't really at this point in time know how clear the advertisements are to new Premiums on the fact that premies can (instead of getting a Linden home) find, buy, a parcel and plant the house of their dreams on it, and redecorate forever and ever. But I find myself asking if it is possible. I do remember it was a pain-pain-painnnnnn back in the day to use the "Search" thing to find/tp/shop for parcels of X size. Please oh please tell me that is fixed...

Party of one, please. I am the tactician of my party, and my personhood. My life does not lead me, I lead my life. What I own be it stuff or knowledge, I control, ie use, access, exclusion. I choose how to direct and if and how to share that value. I am the one who knows more about me than anyone else, like it, accept it, or not. Some days are bigger jobs than others managing all thahhht.
