If you’re looking to add some extra flair to your photos, overlays are a great way to do it! Photoshop makes it easy to add overlays to your photos with just a few clicks. Here’s a quick guide on how to do it:
1. Open the photo you want to add an overlay to in Photoshop.
2. Click the “File” menu and select “Open.” Navigate to the overlay image you want to use and click “Open.”
3. Resize the overlay layer by clicking the “Edit” menu and selecting “Transform.”
Choose “Scale” from the menu that appears and drag one of the corner handles outward or inward until the overlay is the desired size. Press “Enter” when you’re done.
1. Make sure your image is completely flattened before applying the overlay. Any layers underneath will show through, which can ruin the effect.
2. Use a soft-edged brush when applying the overlay, so that the edges blend in more seamlessly.
3. Be careful not to apply too much pressure when brushing, or you may end up with a distorted image.
4. Adjust the opacity of the overlay layer to taste. You may want to experiment with different values to see what looks best with your particular image.
5. If you’re not happy with the results, you can always undo the changes and start over.
4. Change the blend mode of the layer by clicking the drop-down menu next to “Normal” in the Layers panel.
Select an option like “Multiply” or “Screen” to see how it affects the photo. You can also lower the opacity of the layer if it’s too intense.
5. Move the overlay into place by clicking on the layer and dragging it around with your mouse. You can also use the arrow keys on your keyboard to nudge it into place.
6. Save your work by clicking the “File” menu and selecting “Save.”
