Hi Anthony,

I tried this loop to find out a good fuzz value but either it doesn't mask
the shadow or it mask too much (include part of face)

  for fuzz in 01 03 06   28 32 34; do \
    convert diff.png -fill blue -fuzz $fuzz% \
            -bordercolor black -border 1x1 -floodfill +0+0 black \
            -shave 1x1 diff_mask_$fuzz.png; \
  done

Could you make an example with splitting the image in two sections?

Greetings
