What I did was in this direction, but exactly the opposite...meaning... I selected the picture only and worked on it leaving the framed background alone.... I didn't know how much of the frame you wanted to keep, so I kept it all...
here are my steps:
- Duplicated the Bakground Layer.
- Duplicated the Green Channel, used the Levels to increase the contrast and selected the oval part of the picture.
- Back to the layers, with the selection still active, I copied it on its own Layer (Ctrl+J)
- Restored the main picture.
- Cleaned and straighten the duplicated background Frame.
Hope this helps...
