How to use

The aim of the tool is to allow manual corrections on indexed masks that use 16bit images and more than 255 values. Use the pipette tool to pick a color. Use the standard ImageJ selection-brush-tool (or any other selection tool) to draw a selection on the region you want to modify. Press the f-button or hit f5 to fill the selection with the previously picked value.
