Getting Started
pip install Pillow
to manage .heic files (from iOS), also need to install pillow-heif:
pip install pillow-heif
Usage
Overlay images
To overlay two images in python, a solution is to use the pillow function paste(), example:
from PIL import Image
import numpy as np
img = Image.open("data_mask_1354_2030.png")
background = Image.open("background_1354_2030.png")
background.paste(img, (0, 0), img)
background.save('how_to_superimpose_two_images_01.png',"PNG")
Note: to make white pixels transparent a solution is to add the following line:
new_image = Image.new("RGBA", img.size, "WHITE")
