transparent images

[moishyyehuda]

Does any one know how to make a transparent image with specifically
PIL, but any standard python library will do. I need a spacer, and it
has to be transparent.

Thanks

Does this have to be done through Python? If not, you might enjoy GIMP
(http://www.gimp.org), which can do this easily. Best of all, you can
customize the size, etc.

Something like this...not my code...untested...

im = Image.open("image.jpg")
opacity = .5
if im.mode != 'RGBA':
im = im.convert('RGBA')
else:
im = im.copy()

alpha = im.split()[3]
alpha = ImageEnhance.Brightness(alpha).enhance(opacity)
im.putalpha(alpha)
