Getting rid of those nasty little white dots around an image....

Hello list,
I have an image on a white BG I want to put it onto another colour BG. I have selected it quite accurately, but now I still have those pesky 'white' dots. It looks terrible - a bit like it has no anti-aliasing (I think that's the term). I have tried to blur it with the raindrop tool (blur and sharpen tool), but this makes the image quite fuzzy and not at all good to look at. I did try a shaper blur nib, but that does not seem to have any effect.

Any help gladly accepted.....

Thanks H

the first thing is to check to see if your image is indexed or not.

it should say so in the title bar of the image window.

Hamish, This method is blunt force, but it works. Enlarge the image with zoom (+ key or = key as I map it) till the smallest pencil tool is one pixel, make your background color active, change each white pixel to background till you are done.
