Well, our brainstorm was to use a fluorescent dye,
without using a flash. The exposure times range
from 1 sec to 1/20 sec, ISO 200, f2.8. This
wouldn't represent a showstopper, as we're
concentrating on the area of each image that
contains pixels having that color of dye. So I
just need to iterate through the pixels and count
those having a certain threshold of a defined RGB
value to get the area of the image containing the
dye.

Now I reveal my true ignorance. I was thinking
that I could duplicate a layer containing a source
image, play with its opacity, and then merge
the layer back into the original source image to
arrive at a target "exposure". Might that work?
In a related issue posted elsewhere in this forum,
I'm wanting to isolate the dye part of the image:
-- convert the RGB triple for the dye color
(approximately a cyan) to HSB (HSV?)
colorspace,
-- rotate it to (say) green, and then
-- extract the green layer of the image.
This last is probably off-topic...just being
conversational.

Kinata
