Hmm, still getting a black box. The code as it stands now in case
anything jumps out at you:
from PIL import Image
collage = Image.open("collage.jpg")
# open the pic and give it an alpha channel so it's transparent
im1 = Image.open("pic1.jpg")
im1.convert('RGBA')
# rotate it and expand it's canvass so the corners don't get cut off:
im2 = im1.rotate(32, expand = 1)
collage.paste(im2, (30, 30) )
collage.save("collage.jpg")
collage.show()
