Answer 1

You can implement an edge detection algorithm, and have that scan the image. Then start in the upper-left and upper-right corners of the picture, and turn every pixel transparent until you meet and edge, where you stop.

That should keep you from making people's teeth and eyes disappear. White hair might be out of luck.
