  Pardon my ignorance, but I fail to see how these methods would expose to
the binary thresholding ONLY selected pixels.  For example, other softwares
have demonstrated that simply converting non-selected pixels to black or
white biases the histogram the thresholding works with(?)

  Thank you for your other references  :o)
