Yep, Ive actually got a little 5-step routine that does it great (thanks to Arralen). Its how I made the example WEvsTHEM example. The scripting code does look fairly simple so I guess I could take a shot at making one and asking for each function one at a time in those forums.
Im also considering washing the image thru a simple format, maybe raw C code image storage, figure out the code for each of the 3 colors I want saved, then using SED to run thru it and replace all that is NOT the 3 colors to black or transparent, then merge it back after the original is blurred.
