    You are very kind for offering me to make a video. But I do not want to bother you with the video before we clarify what I am trying to achieve. I would like to make selection of the text by using channels and calculation method. Thanks in advance, JS

    How to separate text from the background

    The problem is, so to say, there are too many holes in the letters. I have no experience working with png files. What are they good for? Thanks, JS
