I'm still learning Jitter and I've recently developed a patch, (which is essentially just a crude rip off of Tutorial 25), as a very basic colour tracking theremin...(I will be extending the audio engine later but for now it's just a sine wave for testing).

My idea was to use a [suckah] object to allow the user to select which colour to track, however, as far as I can tell, suckah only outputs 3 values and jit.findbounds requires four arguments, (the 4th being alpha or is it saturation?).

I have created a workaround for it, (the area with a coloured background), to get the 4th value and it works but I was wondering if there's a better, more accurate and efficient way to do it.

It's an XP patch, so Mac users will need to change the [jit.dx.grab] object to a [jit.grab] object, (I'm sure I don't need to tell you that but it might be usefull for any Jitter Noobs, like myself, who come across this thread in future searches).

Anyway, if anyone can find the time to have a look and give me any pointers I'd really appreciate it!
