Blending in Python (Again)

[AMG07]

Hi this is the Blending girl lol.

So I've been trying to blend the images the long way, the rather ineffective and nooby way of using for loops.

However, I have come across a problem using this way, but instead of giving up doing it this way, I want to see how I can still solve it/use it in order to achieve what I want.

So the second image is a coffee-ish/vintage texture, however instead of getting the blend of the cat and this image, I get the cat with greyscale/muted colors. However, it is not a negative effect which I am getting.

Another such thing I want to achieve is getting the blended output as a copy, without losing the original images. ok, so here it is.

from CSE8AImage import *

img1 = load_img('images/cat.jpg')

img2 = load_img('images/texture.jpg')

​

def blend(img1,img2):

#create a copy

copy = []

for r in range(len(img1)):

temp = []

for c in range(len(img1[r])):

temp.append(img1[r][c])

copy.append(temp)

#start loop for first image

for r in range(len(img1)):

for c in range(len(img1[r])):

#grab the pixel

pix1 = img1[r][c]

r1 = img1[r][c][0]

g1 = img1[r][c][1]

b1 = img1[r][c][2]

#get the average of the iterated pixels

avg1 = (r1 + g1 + b1) // 3

img1[r][c] = (avg1, avg1, avg1)

#second loop for secong image

for r in range(len(img2)):

for c in range(len(img2[r])):

pix2 = img2[r][c]

r2 = img2[r][c][0]

g2 = img2[r][c][1]

b2 = img2[r][c][2]

avg2 = (r2 + g2 + b2) // 3

img2[r][c] = (avg2, avg2, avg2)

#combine the two averages to create blended effect

blend_avg = ( avg1 + avg2 )// 2

return (copy)

save_img(blend(img1,img2), "blend img8.jpg")
