Writing Transparent Text on Image

Question

How can I write a semi transparent text on an Image (Jpg,Bmp), or a transparent text (color as same background Image) but with a shadow, something I want to do to watermark

Answer 1

i haven't tested it but it'll give you some idea where to go. the key is the brush style.

something like this:

img.Canvas.Brush.Style:=bsClear;
img.Canvas.Font.Color:=clBlack;
img.Canvas.TextOut(0, 0, 'hi there');
