Ultima Online art has a lot images that have missing pixels or pixels that don't belong. Its been that way for years for the most part it goes unnoticed. But, when creating custom art you want to avoid making the same mistakes. These pixels aren't missing because, the artist didn't paint them. They are missing because, the artist did one of the following things.
1 He used the color True Black RGB 0 0 0 or HTML #000000
2 He used the color True white RGB 255 255 255 or HTML #FFFFFF
3 He did something to the image after he completed it that distorted the colors
such as resizing, or squashing.
Using filters can cause you problems as well such as blur or any filter that messes with colors
Adjusting brightness levels, and all the other color setting could inadvertently throw your colors values off. Darkening and lightening the pixels could make a dark pixel go black, or vice versa. Then you get the creation of the dreaded holes.
But, all is not lost if this occurs and you don't have any other options. You can manually repair the image
By zooming in with your graphics software until you can see the pixels big enough to work with.
Sorry for the blur just an example.
The easiest way to repair pixels is to use your eye dropper tool and select a color right next to the hole. Use that color with a 1x1 brush and paint the missing pixel. Repeat the process Eyedropper, Brush for each hole. That is why I call them the dreaded holes.Here is what the image looks like after repairing OSI's
