Creating an Overlay with PicsArt Sometimes to accompany our images we want to share the thoughts that inspired it, or what we thought of it after, rather than leave it up for interpretation. Using the Screen or Overlay blending modes are the best way to overlay a personal message onto your favorite images using PicsArt. The Screen option makes all of the black areas of your photo transparent while leaving the rest of the colors intact, making it perfect for colorful text and doodles, or anything that doesn’t use the color black. It’s one of the easiest ways to express yourself with just a couple of words and illustrations that you can apply to as many photos as you want. This tutorial shows you how to create an overlay image of your own and how to apply it to a photo in just 10 easy steps! 28 | PicsArt Monthly
