  Compare layers and subtract similarities? – Composting question.

  Posted by Tom Carter on May 11, 2006 at 1:25 am

  Hey.

  Say I have two stills of exactly the same interior (shot from on a tripod); one with it empty, the other with a figure stood in the middle. Is there anyway that I can use the empty layer as mask for the figure layer to subtract everything except the figure (ie everything that is the same in both, a bit like keying but without a greenscreen)? I’ve been through all the blending modes and none of them really do the trick.

  Hope this makes sense – I need to find a technique to do this without having to manually mask every frame as there are quite a few in the series,

  Thanks,
  Tom
