This plugin will take the brightness of the pixels in an image, and make them transparent based on the values from the GUI.
located in Effects > Transparency
It was created to take different exposure images and combine them into a sort of HDR image. It's pretty simple in concept so I'll give an example of how I use the plugin.
High, Mid, and Low exposure images:
On the high-exposure image, I make the bright pixels transparent so that I have detail in the dark areas. And on the low-exposure image, I make the dark pixels transparent so that I have detail in the bright areas. Then I merge those layers (just "Normal" layer blend mode) onto the mid-exposure image.
In the end, I have a photo with more dynamic range than what my basic phone camera could have gotten just on it's own.
