Being a newbie and all, I just learned I could do this.

How cool is that?

Interesting photo. I'm also very new. Could you share what you did? Thanks.

Life is slowing down a bit so I'm able to spend more time learning the Canon T7, DPP4 and PSE 2021.

@Tintype_18,

Thanks.

I'm using a program called Irfanview. It's a free download off the web.

You open an image that you've saved, the go up to the Edit tab and insert an overlay. It asks you to choose another image.

You pick one and insert it. There's a sliding scale that lets you choose a percentage of transparency.

If you don't like it, you go back up to Edit and undo what you'vejust done.

You can go back to insert and overlay and choose a stronger or lighter percentage.

It's pretty easy and only takes a minute or two.

Thanks. I have Photoshop Elements 2021. Sounds like what is termed "layering." Will give it shot.
