Color Removal

Hi,
I wonder if there's a way so that I can remove certain colors from some number of pictures at once, like white and absolute blue using a command line scripting operation.
Thanks,

what do you mean by remove? make transparent?

If all the pictures are in one directory, you can use mogrify. If you only have a few images, you can use convert and list all the images and apply the same commands to remove those colors.

If you want to make transparent an exact color, use

-transparent somecolor

if you want to make transparent some color and those colors very near, then use

-fuzz XX% -transparent somecolor

where XX% is the percent difference in color that you want to include and make transparent
