Playground page:
There is a new public-facing demo/playground page that allows various imaging operations to be tried out against a sample image (or a folder of images). This feature is disabled by default. To enable it, add the following settings to your local_settings.py
file:
DEMO_IMAGE_PATH
- the path to either a single image or a folder of imagesDEMO_OVERLAY_IMAGE_PATH
- the path to a single image to use as an overlay/watermark
E.g.
# Enable the demo page at http://images.example.com/demo/
DEMO_IMAGE_PATH = "/test_images/cathedral.jpg"
DEMO_OVERLAY_IMAGE_PATH = "/test_images/quru470.png"
