Thanks for the suggestion. For anyone who wants to attempt the same, image magic has an example of doing exactly what I described: http://www.cit.gu.edu.au/~anthony/graphics/imagick6/compare/ Quoting Mike Leo :

when anyone asks for help with pictures, i always mention image magic

if the two parts are different enough, i'm sure imagemagick can seperate them for you.

Any GIMP experts here? Is there a way to extract the differences between two images? I have an image of just a background and an image of item on said background. I'd like to get the image of just the item. It wouldn't be hard to write a program to do it but I figured gimp might already have it.
