magicCarpet.gizmo is a 4 point multi gradient that grabs the corner colours and paste it

into a multi gradient.

magicCarpet_whatitdoes

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.

magicCarpet_repair

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.

magicCarpet_alf

this is the properties box of magicCarpet:

magicCarpet_setup

if you want, you can easily connect a tracker to the edges by using the expression function.
