✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, meet enblend-mask — it's literally just a wrapper around enblend for managing external masks 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enblend-mask [options] -o OUTPUT INPUTS

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so it's a wrapper around enblend, right? and the usage is exactly the same as for enblend — no cap, same options, same everything. the ONE extra thing: if files named <prefix>_mask.tif exist, they get inserted as alpha masks before blending. that's it, that's the whole trick ✨

here are some examples of valid image pairs, look how cute:

image0000.tif image0000_mask.tif
foo.jpg foo_mask.tif
heads up bestie 🫶 masks can be any bit depth, but they must have no alpha channel. black = the areas to be ignored, any other colour = areas that may be blended. that's the vibe check.

also note (and this matters!) — only the masks need to be TIFF files. the input images can be any filetype supported by ImageMagick. iconic behaviour honestly 🌈

it requires enblend and ImageMagick. periodt.
