Hi Herve,
I think, the described scenario with different shapes and colours is better (easier) to handle with a painted mask instead of trying to achieve this with Nik’s control points …
While that doesn’t help you – have you seen some webinars about how to use control points and how to refine their selection?
- In CEP4 one could use negative control points and check the selection in mask view.
- In CEP5 the mask view changed and you have Luminosity and Chrominance at hand to get along.

Now I just saw this → detail extractor crash. If it’s the same ‘problem’, why don’t you work on your pic in PL, where you have different masking possibilities, while in Nik you only have control points?
If you need some ‘help’ about PL5, I suggest to post your original (preferable the raw-file), while with Nik I’m still on CEP4.
