Python: PIL (Pillow) & Numpy intersect images

Python: PIL ( Pillow ) & NumPy add images

Pillow (PIL) and NumPy libraries can do wonders in Python! I had once he requirement to overlap two images – not watermarking.

I found several alternatives, but curious to see which would work best.

1. (x+y)/2 … Mathematically, x/2+y/2 seems equivalent to above, but it is not. We’d be loosing a ton of info by doing so!
2. Numpy.minimum((x+y),256)
3. final = (x+y/2) and then addition = addition[addition>256]=256
4. Pillow’s Image.blend(x,y,0.5)
5. Pillow’s Image.composite(x,y,y)
