Good day! I'm a bit new to ImageMagick, and I was wondering: I have ~10k pictures with a red background. It's not perfectly red--they're photos taken on top of a piece of red backdrop. And I'd like to remove this red backdrop. Selecting by color is feasible, but doesn't do exactly what I want, since the portion I want to remove is contiguous, I'd like to take advantage of this fact.

So is there a way to mimic the magic wand/fuzzy select function in Magick? Something where I could indicate a "start pixel" and a threshold?

For reference, here's the best output I can achieve with selection by color (I've filled in the selected area, rather than remove, for comparison's sake). Note the red missed at the bottom of the paper.

convert -fill "#80c0e0" -fuzz 17% -opaque "#B54F50" magick_before.jpg magick_after.jpg

Thanks for your help!


Gratefully,
