Ben, umm, nevermind. B^) There were actually two bugs, and I solved them on my own. 1) After the user selects an area, I do a 'cdef' to get color values for that region. However, those values will be _lost_ when the macro ends, and there's no way the _next_ invocation of the macro, on the next frame, will be able to tell Imagemaster to use those same colors. (As my T-shirt says, "I can't even THINK straight" — in this case, I wasn't even thinking, period) I solved the problem by using 'setclip' and 'getclip' to store color values in the first run, and reload them in subsequent frames. Once I gave Imagemaster's 'colchange' the right color values, it worked fine. <shrug> 2) Even with the right color values, the second frame would be totally replaced by black, green background and all. That's because… the background color on frame 2 wasn't the same. (How stupid of me) Once I altered all my test frames so they'd have compatible backgrounds, the macro worked just fine. So there you have it. I'll add a few more niceties to the macro, such as a variable edge fuzziness control, and upload it when it's done. Should make a nice addition to the stable of Imagemaster ARexx macros out there. Just think, someone on the Mac must be charging big bucks for this very thing. Don't you love working on the Amiga?
