## ⚙️ Technical Details

### Core Algorithms
- **Brightness Calculation**: Grayscale conversion + pixel average algorithm
- **Color Adaptation**: Four-tier classification system based on brightness thresholds
- **Position Calculation**: Staggered grid + edge offset algorithm
- **Rendering Optimization**: BICUBIC/LANCZOS resampling technology

### Performance Optimization
- **Font Caching**: Avoid repeated font file loading
- **Smart Scaling**: Brightness calculation using 50x50 small images for speed
- **Memory Management**: Timely release of temporary layers and cache
- **Batch Processing**: Support for efficient batch image processing

### Quality Assurance
- **Edge Smoothing**: Use high-quality resampling algorithms
- **Color Fidelity**: Preserve original image color space and mode
- **Transparency Handling**: Proper RGBA channel processing
- **Format Compatibility**: Smart conversion between different image formats

## 🔧 Advanced Configuration

You can adjust parameters by modifying the `WatermarkConfig` class:

```python
class WatermarkConfig:
    DEFAULT_FONT_SIZE = 36          # Default font size
    DEFAULT_ANGLE = 30              # Default tilt angle
    SPACING_X_FACTOR = 1.1          # Horizontal spacing multiplier
    SPACING_Y_FACTOR = 0.9          # Vertical spacing multiplier
    BRIGHTNESS_THRESHOLDS = {       # Brightness thresholds
        'very_bright': 180,
        'medium': 120,
        'dark': 60
    }
```

### Custom Parameter Suggestions
- **Dense Watermarks**: Lower spacing multipliers (0.8, 0.7)
- **Sparse Watermarks**: Higher spacing multipliers (1.5, 1.3)
- **Large Fonts**: Increase font size (48, 54)
- **Small Fonts**: Decrease font size (24, 30)

## 🎛️ Usage Tips

### Text Watermark Tips
1. **Copyright Info**: Use "© 2024 Company Name" format
2. **Multi-language**: Mixed Chinese-English works better
3. **Angle Selection**: 30° most natural, 45° more prominent, 0° for documents

### Image Watermark Tips
1. **Logo Design**: Use transparent background PNG format
2. **Size Control**: Logo shouldn't be too large, recommend within 15% of original
3. **Color Matching**: Choose logo colors with appropriate contrast to original image

## 💡 Best Practices

### Batch Processing Recommendations
```python
# Recommended batch processing method
images = ["photo1.jpg", "photo2.jpg", "photo3.jpg"]
watermark_text = "© 2024 My Company"

for image_path in images:
    result = add_text_watermark(image_path, watermark_text)
    print(result)
```

### Performance Optimization Suggestions
1. **Use same font size in batches** to leverage font caching
2. **Avoid frequent angle changes** to reduce computational overhead
3. **Use small-sized image watermarks** to improve processing speed
