Image comparator supports identification of differences

The current RFT/RTW image comparator shows only the baseline and the actual image (if they differ). When having large and complex screens validated with this method, it would be very helpfull if you get support in identifying the (group of)pixels which differ.
Best would be if these are highlighted and when they are connected seen as a single area of interest.
Other alternative is to show only the differences in separate window.

Alternative would be the ability to use a open source image comparator.
