Image Overlay

Image overlay combines two existing NEF (RAW) photographs to create a single picture that is saved separately from the originals with results that are noticeably better than photographs combined in an imaging application because they make use of RAW data from the camera image sensor. The new picture is saved at current image quality and size settings; before creating an overlay, set image quality and size (pp. 66, 70; all options are available). To create a NEF (RAW) copy, choose an image quality of [NEF (RAW)].
