    Set to 'replacement_value' 'nreplace' pixels at the beginning (at

    changes from (to) 'sought_value', as seen from the image borders.

    Parameters
    ----------
    image2d : numpy array
        Initial 2D image.
    nreplace : int
        Number of pixels to be replaced in each border.
    sought_value : int, float, bool
        Pixel value that indicates missing data in the spectrum.
    replacement_value : int, float, bool
        Pixel value to be employed in the 'nreplace' pixels.

    Returns
    -------
    image2d : numpy array
        Final 2D image.
