Adding frames to viewfinder

[Praveen k]

Hii.... I am new to qt. I want to develop an application where i am using QCamera to capture image. But the thing is i want to add some frames like .png or .jpg to it and then capture the new image with frames. And i want to do this in C++ Gui and not in QML. I have googled, but could'nt get the desired result. Anyone can help.. Thanks in advance

Hi,

What do you mean by "add frames" ? Show more frames ? Do some kind of overlay ?

[Praveen k]

Yes Exactly my point.. Adding Overlays to viewfinder..!

[SGaist]

What kind of overlay do you have in mind ?

[Praveen k]

Transparent Overlay type..
Basically like this one Sample Image

Does it have any use except the "cuteness" factor ? (e.g. save to file with overlay applied etc.)

[Praveen k]

Actually i just want to capture an image with frame and save it to local disk..

[SGaist]

So save with the overlay applied ?

[Praveen k]

OK!!! I'll try and can you give me some reference or any example.

There are several possibilities to do what you want.

One of the simple is to put your overlay image in a transparent QLabel and position it over your QCameraViewfinder. Then when you want to save the image, you can compose a new image based on both the camera and the overlay.
