How I Made My Photos Magical with the Photo Overlays Pack (And You Can Too!)

Okay, let me tell you the secret. When I want my photos to look like they came straight out of a fairytale or maybe even a blockbuster movie, I don’t just wish upon a star – I use my Photo Overlays Pack. Yes, it’s that simple! And fun. Seriously, even my cat Tito could probably make photos shine with this pack (but don’t tell him, he’s already too confident).

What is a Photo Overlay, Anyway?

Imagine this: you take a photo, but it feels like it’s missing something. Maybe it needs a sprinkle of magic dust, some soft hearts floating around, or those golden sunbeams that make everything look like summer. That’s what a photo overlay does! It adds that extra touch on top of your photo. Like stickers – but way cooler, more professional, and magical.

With this Photo Overlays Pack, you get 535 overlays. Yep, you read that right. 535! That’s like a whole candy store for your photos. And it’s not just hearts or stars – oh no – it’s also glitter dust, cinematic dust, sunbeams, bokeh, confetti, and even real-looking snowflakes! If you want to make your photos pop, this pack is your best friend.

How I Use the Photo Overlays Pack (And You Can Too)

It’s easier than you think! Here’s my go-to process:

  1. I open my photo in Photoshop.
  2. I place the overlay above my photo in a new layer.
  3. To make the hearts or glitter stand out more, I just duplicate the layer (copy it).
  4. I experiment with layer styles like Linear Dodge, Vivid Light, or Screen until I get that dreamy effect.
  5. When using JPG overlays, I grab the black paint brush and remove parts I don’t need.
  6. When working with transparent PNGs, I simply use the eraser tool or even better – the layer mask to have full control.

And voilĆ ! My photo looks like a masterpiece ready to win hearts all over the internet.

Pro Tips from Yours Truly

  • Don’t be shy to mix overlays together! Hearts and glitter? Yes, please.
  • Adjust opacity to make it more subtle if needed.
  • Save different versions and choose the best one later.
  • Always zoom in to check the edges and little details.
