Overlays are like special effects for your photos. They help create different moods or atmospheres in your pictures, draw attention to important parts, and even tell a story. You can use overlays to make it look like it's raining in your photo, or to change the colors to give a certain feeling. They also let you add things like sparkles or fog to make your photos more interesting. Overall, overlays are a cool way to make your pictures stand out and express your creativity, even if you're just starting out with photography.
