Hi,
I am new to this list but and i have a small problem with PIL.
I am looking for a function that works like composite does in
imagemagick. If you don't know, composite puts the first image above the
second one and it's like pasting.
I have tried PIL paste but I can't get it to work as I want, specially
if my images have alpha channels.
For example I have an example script:
------------------------
from PIL import Image
dtop = Image.open("dtop.png")
frame = Image.open("frame.png")
dtop.paste(frame,(0,0),frame)
dtop.save("test.png")
------------------------
I tried every form of paste but I always get this result or worst.
Using the images from [1] the output image is different, I uploaded the
output file created by IM and PIL to [1] and as you can see it's not the
same. Imagemagick output is im.png and PIL is pil.png.
You can clearly see the difference if you put the images against a
background color other than white or by opening in something like GIMP
or any viewer that shows a checker pattern to represent the
transparency.
Imagemagick does it as I want but PIL doesn't.
I hope somebody can help or knows how to do it because I prefer using
only PIL as it's the only thing that I don't know how to do without
Imagemagick.
