Hi. Just downloaded Retrobatch, looks promising. Reminds me of an old piece of software for the SGI called Explorer.
I would like to use Retrobatch to perform background replacement on product images so that they can be submitted to Amazon for sale.
The backgrounds currently are a muddy beige shade, but I have had some good results using ImageMagick’s “floodfill” function.
My question is: Does Retrobatch have a floodfill function for background replacement? If not, can someone steer me to a FAQ on creating scripts to run in Retrobatch?
Can you tell me a little bit more about your situation with your images? All the backgrounds of your images are the same color? And assuming yes- how would you envision that the flood fill / instant alpha tool would work? Would RB just look at the pixel in the top left corner of the image, and do a flood fill / alpha replacement based from there?
Something like the shown here: https://flyingmeat.com/acorn/docs/how_to_remove_a_background.html
Maybe let a algorithm detect the color which is mostly present in the image. Maybe this is already good enough to get the background of most images in order to create an image with a transparent background from one which does not have one but instead a solid color.
