I see that you had an answer to this question on the PIL list, so I will 
merely note that it's difficult if the background color turns out close 
to mid-gray, or if it's very variable. In general this is a hard 
problem. Are you sure it wouldn't be easier to just put a colored strip 
behind the text and in front of the image?
