It wraps implementations derived from the Open Raster Image Spec, Paint.NET, and other popular image editors, exposing them through a simple API that takes a background image, a foreground image, and a blend mode, then returns the composited result.\n\nThe package depends on numpy for numerical operations and pillow for image handling, making it straightforward to integrate into image processing pipelines. It's designed for developers who need programmatic access to blending operations without building them from scratch.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained with no known vulnerabilities, installs with low friction, and solves a concrete problem\u2014programmatic image blending\u2014that would otherwise require manual implementation. The MIT license is unrestricted. Install it if you need to blend images with standard layer modes in Python."},"id":"blendmodes","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/blendmodes","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/blendmodes.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/blendmodes/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-02-20","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"blendmodes","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Use this module to apply a number of blending modes to a background and foreground image"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":283152,"position":8078,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2025"}
