I looked for a physical map of Jordan and found this, which is exactly what I need except for the red lines. How can I remove the red lines?

I tried in GIMP Select->By Color, selected all the red lines and clicked "delete", but then the red lines were replaced by white lines.

Is there a way to replace the red lines with colors similar to their surroundings, such that the image looks smooth?

There is no automatic way, such as you're looking for. At least, not to my knowledge.

You could have a go at it with the clone or healing tool, which can yield ok results.


Select the healing brush.
Set it to hardness 025 and size 30.
ctrl-click next to the line.
Draw over the line.
Optional: fix things a bit with blur brush.




Although this can yield ok-ish results, it's work intensive and not all that great. But I can't think of a better way, except maybe choose a different image.
