Hi
Apologies for the slowness of my reply. Thanks both for the
examples. I couldn't get pix_background working Ben but it seems to
be not what I'm looking for on this occasion anyway. Mark, managed
to see yours working, yep its pretty raw but it's a start which is
what I needed. Many thanks.

You don't actually load a base image into pix_background, you send
a [reset( message to the [pix_background] object and it takes a
snapshot of whatever's in front of the connected camera (or
incoming video stream). Then it compares all incoming frames with
that snapshot and outputs anything that's different between the
two. The right inlet sets the threshold and takes an RGB value, so
you will have to adjust this to reduce inevitable noise and
artifacting. I have attached a very basic version of this patch
I've described. I don't have a cam attached to this computer and
don't have the time to test it, but it should work.-Ben

this sort of works although its still pretty sloppy. didn't try
with screen yet but with the help of iohannes and jacks color
picker examples one should be able to key out any solid color from
a video just by selecting it in a gem window.works on my side on osx.
