So far I'm using the PSX masks to combine the layers, then the PC masks (upscaled without refiltering) when I de-compose to the original tiles. Seems to works nicely so far, so I doubt I will change the method.
An general issue has been detected in the denoising process : Some grey lines may appears on a lot of background.
This has been fixed in the scripts, next version will be a lot cleaner !
Nice ! I've come across your mod searching if it was possible to re-inject the background into the game, seing your mod was a deciding factor
In order to do that, I don't only need the animation layers, I also need to know that a layer (in the tiff file) IS an animation layer (vs. static background), or if the layer has parralax, and if so, what is the depth of that layer.
For lighting effects and other stuff, I also need to know if a layer a different blending mode.
I would not like to duplicate works here.
I don't know if you do that manually or not, but I wrote scripts that does that automatically (by reading the script field id from both versions in order to match them properly), and that the correct layer from both versions (as your said : blending layers from steam, real background from the PSX version).
It's a classic layering issue. The main problem is that both version doesn't handle semi-transparent images, so the edges of each layer are sharp, instead of having some semi-transparent pixels in order to blend over.
I'm still unsure if I will use the PSX layers with a neighbooring algorythm, or something similar to what you did, but from early testing, both solutions seems workable.As long as you've one pixel over that should work. I decided against PSX masks as they're blocky as hell and it didn't really looked good with higher res Backgrounds. :/
ie .this kind of artefacts on the edge of the wood :
It's not due to the masking.
I've the same issue in photoshop is a perfect mask that I couldn't in-engine, but that I use for ground truth when testing.
It's due to the fact that the wood is interpolated near black pixels.
I've tried to extend the pixel borders to avoid that : I can reduce or increase the artifact effect depending of how it's done, but I'm only manage to get a perfect result when it's interpolated with a recombined image.
