Answer 1

You can try using the .blend method.

For two images image1 and image2 :

from PIL import Image
image1 = Image.open(path1)
image2 = Image.open(path2)
new_image = Image.blend(image1, image2, alpha)
#save / do stuff

Alternatively, if you want to specify coordinates:

 image1.paste(image2, (x, y), mask)
