Help with Green Screen Program

[Tugnus]

So I'm pretty lost in Python. My teacher doesn't explain the commands for Python so I'm really confused on how to write this. I have to write a green screen type program that takes a picture with a green background and replaces it with another picture by looking at the color levels of each pixel and if the green color is a certain amount larger than blue/red then it will replace it with the other pictures pixel.

The pseudo code I have is:

#show the before pictures
#for each pixel in the foreground image:
# we first get the red, green and blue of this pixel
# if the red plus blue is greater than green (*)
# get the pixel from the background image at foreground pixel's location (**)
# set the background pixel's color to be the color obtained from the fg
#show the resulting picture (repaint)
#write the new picture to a file

You can use the writePictureTo(picture, path) function to save the image.

I know the basics to the program with the getRed()/blue/green and setRed(), but I don't know what to do about finding certain pixels in the foreground.

We are using JES version of python in class as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Never heard of JES Python so I looked it up. The answer to your question is right in the introduction manual
