in thread pixel counting

That's what I figured. Have you decided yet how (ie. what tools. I can see the process will probably need to be manual) you are to use to create the cut-outs?

    Oh, it's a manual process given the complexity of species identification, etc.

      Yes. I can understand that, but I meant what utility will the person selecting the cut-out use to select the odd shape and produce the resultant gif with its transparent background?

      Or will this be done by cutting up prints and then rescanning the pieces?

        Nope, the images are being taken digitally, so areas will be handselected in photoshop/gimp/image tool of choice, and pasted into seperate layers/gifs/whatever. Ye gods, manually cutting up prints! The very idea terrifies me!
