Understanding photo overlay effects

Photo overlays combine a texture or visual layer with a base image.

Choose blend and opacity based on the base image's highlights and shadows.

A practical workflow

  1. Choose the required source files, if any. Files are handled as stated in the workspace privacy label.
  2. Set the available controls and apply the operation.
  3. Compare the actual output, check its dimensions and download the generated file.

Decisions and limitations

  • Strength (%)
  • Radius or pattern size (pixels)
  • Blend mode

16 megapixels maximum. Artistic treatments are algorithmic approximations with adjustable settings. Exported PNGs are flattened. For two-image operations, the second image must match the first image dimensions.
