I've manually edited maps using GIMP and had great success with keeping planners from making paths through unwanted areas. I used black instead of gray as that corresponds to "very" occupied. From the wiki:
When comparing to the threshold parameters, the occupancy probability of an image pixel is computed as follows:
occ = (255 - color_avg) / 255.0
, wherecolor_avg
is the 8-bit value that results from averaging over all channels, e.g. if the image is 24-bit color, a pixel with the color0x0a0a0a
has a probability of 0.96, which is very occupied. The color0xeeeeee
yields 0.07, which is very unoccupied.
As black is 0x000000
it should yield 100% (or very) occupied. Gray may not result in an area being considered occupied.

Edit:
According to the wiki that I linked to, you can use a PNG instead of PGM, but PNG is not supported on OS X.

As @Procópio stated in the comments
painting the map black will have the side-effect of degrading localization, as the real LIDAR measurements will not match those of the edited map.
