PYRMASK(1)							    PYRMASK(1)

NAME
       pyrmask - Blend two images together using Gaussian pyramids.

SYNOPSIS
       pyrmask [ -l levels ] [ -o outfile ] inmask outmask maskfile

DESCRIPTION
       Pyrmask	blends	two  images together by first breaking the images down
       into separate bandpass images, combining	 these	separate  images,  and
       then  adding  the  new bandpass images back into a single output image.
       This can produce very seamless  blends  of  digital  images.   The  two
       images  are combined on the basis of a third "mask" image.  The result‐
       ing image will contain the inmask image where the mask contains a maxi‐
       mum  value  (255)  and the outmask image where the mask contains zeros.
       This is done on a channel by channel basis, i.e.	 the  maskfile	should
       have data in each channel describing how to combine each channel of the
       inmask and outmask images.  All three images must have exactly the same
       dimensions (both image size and number of channels).  For best results,
       it's often useful to filter the	mask  image  a	little	with  smush(1)
       first.

OPTIONS
       -l levels
	      How  many	 pyramid  levels  to  use  (maximum is log(2) of image
	      size).

       -o outfile
	      If specified, output will be written to this file, otherwise  it
	      will go to stdout.

BUGS
       The current implementation has very strict requirements for image sizes
       and dimensions.	The extensive use of floating point computation	 makes
       it  very	 slow for normal sized images.	It also keeps all of the band‐
       pass images in core at once, which  requires  considerable  amounts  of
       memory.

       Pyrmask	is  built  on  top  of a library of functions for working with
       Gaussian pyramids.  This library has yet	 to  be	 documented  or	 fully
       tested.
