I think the title is painful enough for any coder. Chroma key Masking. I don't need it, as I already have Recomposite. But just imagine how many people would download this plugin*! It would be the only freeware Chroma key masking tool ever made!

An example of masking (I did myself in 2 minutes):

It could be the biggest thing since Paint.NET!

*also note that this plugin will only work on Paint.NET

Actually, for those who must do this, The GIMP does have a Color to Alpha function that does this: Non PDN image warning!

And Barkbark, how did you accomplish your results?

A competition it is!

This isn't great, but I did this:

I did this a week ago:

EDIT: Just when you think you have all the plugins....

I was able to get this with the Alpha Mask Import plugin. I inverted the wine glass, used Brightness / Contrast ... to cover most of what was there, and lo and behold:

wineglasspdn.png

It's still not perfect, and what I love about color to Alpha is that, if the pixels are a light red, the white is removed and the red hue remains and blends into the layers behind it.

I agree that this is a feature I'd love, and I know I tried to explain it to Rick before. If anyone could replicate a plugin for PDN that does this, I would have to bow in humble adoration. :D

And I think I've articulated several times that what I'm really driving towards are the more general concept and implementation of layer masks :) Then once you have that it becomes trivial to do about 500 new scenarios.

1. Get HSV value of a pixel.

2. Given a set Hue, Hue tolerance, and Saturation tolerance.

3. Set A=255 if pixel.H > H+hT+1 OR pixel.H < H-hT-1

4. Set A=0 if pixel.H < H+hT-1 OR pixel.H > H-hT+1

5. If else, set A = (Math.abs(pixel.H-H+hT)*128)

^My concept

I apologize. I wasn't trying to insult your ability to understand, I was insulting my ability to explain exactly what it does. :wink:

I know layer masks are important, and I'm really looking forward to them, but layer masks really don't do the same thing, not without some editing and trickery.

Hmm.... A prototype for codelab, right here (Really, dirty and hacky)

int Amount1=120; //Base Hue green=120, blue=240, reds aren't supported very well
int Amount2=50; //Hue Tolerance
int Amount3=16; //Value tolerance

const double HSV_UNDEFINED = -999.0;

void Render(Surface dst, Surface src, Rectangle rect)
{
   float BaseHue = Amount1;
   float HueTol = Amount2;
   float VTol = (float)Amount3;
   double H = 0, S = 0, V = 0;
   VTol /= 100f;
   for(int y = rect.Top; y < rect.Bottom; y++)
   {

       for (int x = rect.Left; x < rect.Right; x++)
       {
           ColorBgra col = src[x, y];

           EvanRGBtoHSV(col.R, col.G, col.B, ref H, ref S, ref V);
           if (V > VTol) {
               if (H > (BaseHue-HueTol+3)&&H > (BaseHue+HueTol-3)||H < (BaseHue-HueTol+3)&&H < (BaseHue-HueTol-3)) col.A=255;
               else col.A = 0;
               }
           dst[x, y] = col;
           }

       }

   }

public void EvanRGBtoHSV(int R, int G, int B, ref double outH, ref double outS, ref double outV)
{
// R, G, and B must range from 0 to 255
// Ouput value ranges:
// outH - 0.0 to 360.0
// outS - 0.0 to 1.0
// outV - 0.0 to 1.0

double dR = (double)R/255.0;
double dG = (double)G/255.0;
double dB = (double)B/255.0;
double dmaxRGB = EvanMax3(dR, dG, dB);
double dminRGB = EvanMin3(dR, dG, dB);
double delta = dmaxRGB - dminRGB;

// Set value
outV = dmaxRGB;

// Handle special case
if (dmaxRGB == 0)
{
outH = HSV_UNDEFINED;
outS = 0.0;
return;
}

outS = delta/dmaxRGB;
if (dmaxRGB == dminRGB)
{
outH = HSV_UNDEFINED;
return;
}

// Finally, compute hue
if (dR == dmaxRGB)
{
outH = (dG-dB)/delta*60.0;
}
else if (dG == dmaxRGB)
{
outH = (2.0+(dB-dR)/delta)*60.0;
}
else //if (dB == dmaxRGB)
{
outH = (4.0+(dR-dG)/delta)*60.0;
}

if (outH < 0)
{
outH += 360.0;
}
}

public double EvanMax3(double x, double y, double z)
{
return (x>y)?((x>z)?x:z)(y>z)?y:z);
}
public double EvanMin3(double x, double y, double z)
{
return (x(y}

Last 3 functions were made by EvanOlds, best to attribute him.

Okay, here's an example for the wine glass.

I took the white background to blue because white is the most difficult color to mask out.

blueglass.png

Now, Amount1 = 240, for blue. Amount2 = 40, for good hue range. Amount3 = 56, to catch some of the edges.

After:

transglass.png

The blue is still visible, but it's a prototype. ;)

Once more teasing:

Still some rounding errors *bangs his head against the wall*.

I restarted from (gimp) scratch this morning ECT, the main work begin now ...

No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio

Here is the current code, if some coding fairies want to look at it.

I don't know if I can go further.
