Manipulate array values in an easy way

Question

From a previous post, I learned how to change all values in a 2D-Array in a very fast and easy way:

e.g. set all values smaller than 255 to x:

arr[arr < 255] = x

Now I want to do something similar, but not just setting the value to x.

I want to manipulate the value in this array in a specific way when it's below a treshold.

arr[abs(arr) < threshold] = arr(*where condition is true*) - threshold*x

arr - theshold*x does not work, since arr is the complete array.

I think that a loop with np.where is needed to solve this problem which isn't quite easy as before. Is there any better way?

It should be pretty easy to extend what you've already done:

x = random.rand(100)
threshold = 0.2
indices = abs(x) < threshold
x[indices] = x[indices] - threshold*x[indices]
