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.
