There is an easy way, which is not what i'm looking for but I'll accept it. The hard way will give you more credit! If you come up with both, then even better!
Well I've got two answers but only one does a 'guaranteed perfect' job, the other is more 'by hand'. However, I can't help but thinking I'm missing some elegant (and simpler) technique (my best way requires a couple of alpha channels). So I'll wait and see if someone else has an idea...?
