I use this routine (in a little app I wrote to extract the date a photo was taken from its EXIF data, and add it to the bottom corner) def Imprint(im, inputtext, font=None, color=None, opacity=.6, margin=(30,30)): """ imprints a PIL image with the indicated text in lower-right corner """ if im.mode != "RGBA": im = im.convert("RGBA") textlayer = Image.new("RGBA", im.size, (0,0,0,0)) textdraw = ImageDraw.Draw(textlayer) textsize = textdraw.textsize(inputtext, font=font) textpos = [im.size[i]-textsize[i]-margin[i] for i in [0,1]] textdraw.text(textpos, inputtext, font=font, fill=color) if opacity != 1: textlayer = ReduceOpacity(textlayer,opacity) return Image.composite(textlayer, im, textlayer) The ReduceOpacity method is the one from this recipe: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/362879 Which inspired my app in the first place _______________________________________________ Image-SIG maillist - Image-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/image-sig
