Ben, We have footage of an actor against a black background. I'm using Imagemaster and I'm trying to key-out the black background, make that background completely white, and alternately change all the remaining colors in the image to black. I want the result to be a two color (black against white) matte. I am able to key out the background and make it white using the color-keyed selector to make a mask. Is there a way to invert the mask in order to operate on the remaining pixels? Thanks for the help. BTW, if there's a way to complete the above process on an entire directory using an AREXX script with multiframing, I'd love to hear how one might go about doing it. Anyone out there have a script I could use for such a keying operation? I would think this was a common task for video work. Again, thank you. Steve S.G. Bailey Image Dynamics – Chicago
