python-pillowUsing mask to merge two images with transparency
In order to paste image and maintain its transparency, we have to pass the 3rd argument of paste() method and make it the same as 1st:
from PIL import Image
im = Image.open('/var/www/examples/heroine.png')
im_merge = Image.open('/var/www/examples/hammer.png')
im.paste(im_merge, (40, 500), im_merge)
im.show()ctrl + cPILimport Pillow package modules | Image.openopen given image with Pillow |
.paste(paste given image to the current image | im_mergeimage to paste to |
(40, 500)
| .show()displays resulting image |
Usage example
from PIL import Image
im = Image.open('/var/www/examples/heroine.png')
im_merge = Image.open('/var/www/examples/hammer.png')
im.paste(im_merge, (40, 500), im_merge)
im.show()
