Add Images

This function block is designed to perform addition on two input images without any weighting. It effectively combines the pixel values of both images to create a new image.

📥 Inputs

Image Any The first image to be added.

Image Any The second image to be added.

📤 Outputs

Image Any The resultant image obtained by adding the pixel values of both input images.

🎨 Features

Simple Addition Combines pixel values from two images straightforwardly, allowing for quick image manipulation.

Pixel Value Clipping Ensures that pixel values remain within the valid range of 0-255 to prevent overflow and maintain image integrity.

📝 Usage Instructions

1. Connect Images: Link two image sources (e.g., from Load Image, Show Image, or any other image-producing node) to the two input sockets.

2. Run the Block: After connecting the images, execute the block to see the combined result.

📊 Evaluation

Upon running, this function block will add the two input images together and produce a new image as output, effectively merging both images based on their pixel values.

💡 Tips and Tricks

Using Images of Different Sizes

If the two input images have different dimensions, consider using the Image Resizer block to match their sizes before using this function block. This will help avoid unexpected results.

Combining with Other Operations

You can first apply filters like Blur or Denoising to the images before adding them to enhance the final result.

Understanding Output Brightness

If the output appears brighter than expected, it is because the addition operation increases pixel values. You may want to adjust one of the input images' brightness before using this block.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Dark Output Image

If the resultant image appears too dark, ensure that you're not adding overly dark images together. Adjust the brightness of one or both images using a suitable image adjustment function before addition.

Output Pixel Clipping

The function ensures pixel values are clipped to remain within the 0-255 range. If you feel the image quality is affected, consider using Add Images Weighted to control blending better with specified weights for each image.
