magicCarpet.gizmo is a 4 point multi gradient that grabs the corner colours and paste it
into a multi gradient.
you can cover any gradient background by simply draging the points.
the colour picers in the corners use an average colour of about 10 sq pixels so it sometimes helps to move
the edge points a little bit to match the colour you want.
dont expect a perfect result at this point - depending on your image you may still see light edges but by using the
erode and blur function you should get rid of these edges easily. the blur does not blur the gradient, it only blurs the alfa channel
at the edges.
the magicCarpet.gizmo delivers an alfa channel in the output of the area you have covered, it might be handy if
you want to add grain or a colour correction.
this is the properties box of magicCarpet:
if you want, you can easily connect a tracker to the edges by using the expression function.
please have a closer look under the hood of my .gizmo and leave a comment or an idea for a version 2
and like we germans use to say: applause is the artists salary.
so dont hesitate to leave your comment - if you like it or not.

Good work.
would be nice to be able to have some control over the colours.
So once you have your corner points and they have got their colours - it would be nice to be able to tweak them slightly.
Just a thought.
nice tool though
but my main interrest is always to keep the "gui" as simple as possible.
in my version 0.5 i had to pick the colour manually and adjust them. when u have
a quick look under the hood you will see that you can easily switch off the auto colour pick function.
i need a good idea how to contol 4 points seperately in luma,gain and tint without adding 12 sliders to the
gui. at the moment i am thinking about splitting the edges in halfs so that you get 8 control points instead of 4.
maybe it might help with difficult shapes or gradients. lets see what the majority thinks about it.

Thanks!
Great tools. Works as a charm in the GUI but give me an error in command line:
Warning: magicCarpet_v1_ 0_1.Crop3: [Crop] Abort/cancel checked with no valid trees. This op most likely needs to have its parent set correctly
Both inputs are connected to the image I generate the gradient from.
Got any idea?
Thank you for your help.
Great gizmo, use it all the time
Small suggestion: if you go into the cornepin node that drives all the crops and set the 'from' values to inherit the dimensions from the input constant using "width" and "height" expressions, you don't get mismatched aspect ratios with your result.
Thanks!

Working with image res of 2048 x 1080. Tried adjusting format of crops.
So I took out the constants inside after the crop, put in a reformat to the root format size and seems to work now.
But I don't know how to contact you other than this way.

Thank you and have a nice day!

Maybe you could upload it here ?
