⚙️ Technical Details
Core Algorithms
- Brightness Calculation: Grayscale conversion + pixel average algorithm
- Color Adaptation: Four-tier classification system based on brightness thresholds
- Position Calculation: Staggered grid + edge offset algorithm
- Rendering Optimization: BICUBIC/LANCZOS resampling technology
Performance Optimization
- Font Caching: Avoid repeated font file loading
- Smart Scaling: Brightness calculation using 50x50 small images for speed
- Memory Management: Timely release of temporary layers and cache
- Batch Processing: Support for efficient batch image processing
Quality Assurance
- Edge Smoothing: Use high-quality resampling algorithms
- Color Fidelity: Preserve original image color space and mode
- Transparency Handling: Proper RGBA channel processing
- Format Compatibility: Smart conversion between different image formats
🔧 Advanced Configuration
You can adjust parameters by modifying the WatermarkConfig class:
class WatermarkConfig:
DEFAULT_FONT_SIZE = 36 # Default font size
DEFAULT_ANGLE = 30 # Default tilt angle
SPACING_X_FACTOR = 1.1 # Horizontal spacing multiplier
SPACING_Y_FACTOR = 0.9 # Vertical spacing multiplier
BRIGHTNESS_THRESHOLDS = { # Brightness thresholds
'very_bright': 180,
'medium': 120,
'dark': 60
}
Custom Parameter Suggestions
- Dense Watermarks: Lower spacing multipliers (0.8, 0.7)
- Sparse Watermarks: Higher spacing multipliers (1.5, 1.3)
- Large Fonts: Increase font size (48, 54)
- Small Fonts: Decrease font size (24, 30)
🎛️ Usage Tips
Text Watermark Tips
- Copyright Info: Use "© 2024 Company Name" format
- Multi-language: Mixed Chinese-English works better
- Angle Selection: 30° most natural, 45° more prominent, 0° for documents
Image Watermark Tips
- Logo Design: Use transparent background PNG format
- Size Control: Logo shouldn't be too large, recommend within 15% of original
- Color Matching: Choose logo colors with appropriate contrast to original image
💡 Best Practices
Batch Processing Recommendations
# Recommended batch processing method
images = ["photo1.jpg", "photo2.jpg", "photo3.jpg"]
watermark_text = "© 2024 My Company"
for image_path in images:
result = add_text_watermark(image_path, watermark_text)
print(result)
Performance Optimization Suggestions
- Use same font size in batches to leverage font caching
- Avoid frequent angle changes to reduce computational overhead
- Use small-sized image watermarks to improve processing speed
