Image Watermarking Tool (javascript, written by Claude Code)

Claude Code wrote this javascript project from the task below. It installed and ran on a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine as written.

Task given to the agent:

TASK: Image Watermarking Tool

Write a program that adds text and image watermarks to photographs with configurable positioning, opacity, tiling, and batch processing capabilities.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Accept an image file path as a command-line argument
- Support text watermarks via --text flag with configurable font size (--font-size, default 24), color (--color, hex format, default #FFFFFF), and font family (--font, default: a bundled or system sans-serif font)
- Support image overlay watermarks via --watermark flag (accepts a PNG file path with transparency)
- Support configurable position via --position flag: center, top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right, or custom coordinates (x,y)
- Support configurable opacity via --opacity flag (0.0 to 1.0, default 0.3)
- Support tiled/repeated watermark mode via --tile flag that repeats the watermark across the entire image with configurable spacing (--spacing, default 100 pixels) and rotation angle (--angle, default -30 degrees)
- Support adding a semi-transparent background band behind text watermarks for better readability via --background-band flag
- Support batch watermarking of all images in a directory via --batch flag
- Preserve original image quality and metadata in the output
- Print processing details to console: input file, watermark type, position, opacity, output file, processing time
- Save watermarked images to a path specified by --output flag (default: original name with _watermarked suffix)
- If no input is given, generate a sample 1024x768 photograph-like image, apply both a text watermark and a tiled watermark, then save both versions to demonstrate the capabilities
- Handle errors: missing font files, invalid watermark images, unsupported image formats, images too small for the watermark

Create a complete JavaScript project for a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine with only Node.js 20+ (LTS) installed. Include:
- Source code
- package.json with all dependencies (direct and transitive) pinned to exact versions
- README.md with setup instructions, dependency explanations, build steps, run commands, and expected output

# Image Watermarking Tool (JavaScript / sharp + text-to-svg)

A Node.js command-line image watermarking tool using sharp for image processing and text-to-svg for text rendering. Supports text and image watermarks with positioning, opacity, tiling, rotation, and batch processing.

## Dependencies

- **sharp 0.33.2** - High-performance image processing library
- **text-to-svg 3.1.5** - Convert text to SVG paths for crisp text watermarks

## Installation

```bash
npm install
```

## Usage

### Text Watermark

```bash
node watermark.js text --input photo.png --output watermarked.png --text "Copyright 2024"

# With rotation and tiling
node watermark.js text --input photo.png --output watermarked.png --text "DRAFT" \
    --tile --rotation 45 --opacity 0.3 --tile-spacing "100,100"

# Batch processing
node watermark.js text --input ./photos/ --output ./watermarked/ --text "Sample" --batch
```

### Image Watermark

```bash
node watermark.js image --input photo.png --output watermarked.png --watermark logo.png

# Custom positioning
node watermark.js image --input photo.png --output watermarked.png --watermark logo.png \
    --position bottom-left --scale 0.15 --opacity 0.8

# Batch processing
node watermark.js image --input ./photos/ --output ./watermarked/ --watermark logo.png --batch
```

### Options

| Option | Description | Default |
|--------|-------------|---------|
| `--position` | Watermark position | bottom-right |
| `--font-size` | Font size for text | 40 |
| `--color` | Text color (CSS color) | rgba(255,255,255,0.5) |
| `--opacity` | Opacity from 0.0 to 1.0 | 0.5 |
| `--scale` | Image watermark scale | 0.2 |
| `--rotation` | Rotation in degrees | 0 |
| `--tile` | Tile watermark | off |
| `--tile-spacing` | Tile spacing as X,Y | 50,50 |
| `--batch` | Batch process directory | off |

## Features

- SVG-based text rendering for crisp watermarks at any size
- High-performance image processing via sharp (libvips)
- Nine named positions for watermark placement
- Adjustable opacity via alpha compositing
- Rotation with transparent background preservation
- Tiled watermark patterns
- Batch directory processing
