I am using Star alignment with Frame Adaptation to put panels of a mosaic together. The registered input images have some black borders around, but after Frame Adaptation those borders are gray, which messes up the matching of the "real" image data. I would like to find a way to tell it to just leave 0s alone, so they are not considered in the adaptation and are left as 0 in the output. It seems like I might be able to use an input hint to get it to ignore them, but I'm not having any luck finding an example.
I would appreciate any pointers or advice on how to get Frame Adaptation to ignore zero valued pixels...
Thanks,
Bret
