Re: Replacing Complex Tone/Color Backgrounds

For PW4 and earlier users, I was able to make a fairly good mask using absolute difference, then brightness curve step function (or color curves V) to map all but absolute black to white, then convert to 8-bit BW. The result needed only a small amount of touch up.
