But if I use white type on top of the image and the sky appears there

Is there a way to get the "average" grayscale value of a small area
of a photo?
I'm not sure about getting an average, but someone posted the following
handler here a while ago. I'm sorry I can't give credit, I should have
saved that.
Determine whether to show white or black text against a colored background:
function calcLuminance pRGB
-- wikipedia: Y = 0.2126 R + 0.7152 G + 0.0722 B
put item 1 of pRGB * 0.2126 into tR
put item 2 of pRGB * 0.7152 into tG
put item 3 of pRGB * 0.0722 into tB
if sum(tR,tG,tB) > 125 then return "black"
else return "white"
end calcLuminance
