Watermarks, overlays, and blend modes in a few lines — imgkit now has composite()

If you ship anything with user-generated or product imagery, you eventually need to put one image on top of another: a logo in the corner, a "SAMPLE" stamp across a preview, a badge on a product shot, a gradient blended over a hero photo.

This usually means reaching for sharp and stitching together its composite API, or dropping down to node-canvas and doing the math by hand. The latest release of imgkit (v2.3.0) adds a dedicated composite() for exactly this — Rust-backed, async off the main thread, and the same on Node.js and Bun.
