Can I use Matrixcolor in Composites?

[arlj11]

I want to have text over a darken picture without having to edit the picture itself. I feel Matrixcolor will be quicker than editing the image itself if I decide to change the image at a later date.

Is there another way to do this if Matrixcolor can't be used in Composites?

You can use HueMatrix:

Code: Select all

image your_image:
    "your_image_comp"
    matrixcolor HueMatrix(40)

image your_image:
    "your_image_comp"
    matrixcolor HueMatrix(40)

That works to tint the image. But now how do I overlay the text. The image doesn't show if I add text to the bottom of the code above and the is at the bottom of the screen.

Try something like:

Code: Select all

transform darken:
    matrixcolor BrightnessMatrix(-0.2)

image eileen composite = Composite(
    (300, 600),
    (0, 0), At("your_image.jpg", darken),
    (0, 0), Text("hello"),
 )

That worked. Thank you.
