So what do you guys suggest for doing overlays?

[makecents]

I've been lazy and never taken time to check out what is available for doing overlays. Eric recenty brought this up and I just need to start doing them.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks, Jon.

I did a search on overlays in the photography sub forum and found this :http://www.lincolncentforum.com/foru...hlight=overlay

Alright, this is going to take a minute...

Any photo editing software that will allow you to create a transparency should do the trick!!!

makecents, I've only recently dabbled with overlays. I use Gimp. It's a free graphics editor, can add layers, transparency, and to flip the reverse, for example (mirror img) it's a flip button. Quite easy to use.
May take me quite some time to 'become as masterful' as Jim, though.

Jon, by far the easiest overlay site I have used is befunky.com - I tried some of the others and was not successful. It's free too!

Thanks, I'll check it out!! I got the paint.net figured out but there are several steps, not very simple.

I remember you talking about this one on different occasions. I will have to check it out, as the paint.net is not very simple.

Don't know how masterful I am... At times they can take a while to get correct!!!
