Color Masking
since i was using color clip quite often lately, how about this:

it's something like a mixture of color clip and picture/picture ii, one can select a color (+/- tolerance) and load an image file, which will then be masked just on the color(-range).

That sounds cool.

i don't understand...

Nice idea :)
It would be even more usafull if we had an output/input blend for effect lists and buffers that would use replace if pixel is in selected color(+/-tolerance) and ignore else.

add that Color Mask effect to a preset of your choice, select a color(-range) and load an image file. the image will then only be displayed within that color(-range)

so like this?

el (replace, multiply)
.color clip - near ...

Yeah, that would be c00l. I work on something like that (see Color Bit Mapper). Maybe we should try to create a 3 in 1 ape (combine this one, picture 2 and mine) with 3 modes, rendering, mapping and masking...

i think the most important missing features for any picture ape would be PNG and SVG :D

SVG would require a fast, high-quality vector renderer... volunteers?

volunters, for what, nobody knows anything better than you here? :)

i am trying to include aspect ratio fix in picture II.
i got the source code :)

Hm, drawing vector graphics shouldnt be that bad, and there should also be enough stuff about this in the net. Only thing is, how do we decode the file?
