👑 ENFUSE-MASK ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and it's literally called enfuse-mask. It's a wrapper around enfuse for managing external masks. yes, that's the whole NAME section, and yes, it's iconic. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enfuse-mask [options] -o OUTPUT INPUTS

that's it. that's the whole vibe. run it, get fused images, feel like a god. 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So this is a wrapper around enfuse. Usage is exactly the same as for enfuse, no cap, no deviation, EXCEPT — and this is the main character moment — if files named <prefix>_mask.tif exist, they get inserted as alpha masks before fusing. it just does it. quietly. iconically. ✨

Some examples of valid image pairs, because a visual learner deserves visuals:

image0000.tif image0000_mask.tif
foo.jpg foo_mask.tif

okay now some stuff you actually need to know, bestie, pay attention 🎀:

  • masks can be any bit depth, but they must have no alpha channel. periodt.
  • Black indicates areas to be ignored. Any other colour indicates areas that may be fused. so black = not invited to the party, everything else = come on in 🦋
  • note also that only masks need to be TIFF files. the input images can be any filetype supported by ImageMagick. she's flexible like that 💅
Requires enfuse and ImageMagick. like, genuinely requires them. they're not optional, they're the whole point. 😭

a legend, honestly. 👑

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this doc came from the perl manual, version perl v5.42.0, dated 2025-07-25 — so when you see it in your terminal, that's the lore behind it. go fuse some images, you've got this fr fr 💖✨🌸
