⚙️ 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

1. Copyright Info: Use "© 2024 Company Name" format
2. Multi-language: Mixed Chinese-English works better
3. Angle Selection: 30° most natural, 45° more prominent, 0° for documents

Image Watermark Tips

1. Logo Design: Use transparent background PNG format
2. Size Control: Logo shouldn't be too large, recommend within 15% of original
3. 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

1. Use same font size in batches to leverage font caching
2. Avoid frequent angle changes to reduce computational overhead
3. Use small-sized image watermarks to improve processing speed
