nice one Chris !

so this is basically rendering without a handmade (path, lasso, etc.) selection, right ?

does it only work with objects that are more or less one colour ?

Glad you like it! :yes

Esper: yes, this technique is the best for just one color.
But i wanted to know how to add more colors. I found out that more color layers works!
For example: this flower has reds and yellow. I need three layers of cmyk channels.
