Image overlay combines two existing NEF (RAW) photographs to create a single
picture that is saved separately from the originals; the results, which make use of RAW
data from the camera image sensor, are noticeably better than overlays created in an
imaging application.
The new picture is saved at current image quality and size
settings; before creating an overlay, set image quality and size (0 85, 88; all options
are available).
To create a NEF (RAW) copy, choose an image quality of NEF (RAW).
1 Select Image overlay.
Highlight Image overlay in the retouch menu
and press 2.
The dialog shown at right will be
displayed, with Image 1 highlighted; press J to
display a list of the NEF pictures created with this
camera.
2 Select the first image.
Use the multi selector to highlight a photo. To
view the highlighted image full frame, press and
hold the X button (to view images in other
locations as described on page 164, hold D and
press 1).
Press J to select the highlighted
photograph and return to the preview display.
3 Select the second image.
The selected image will appear as Image 1. Highlight Image 2 and press J,
then
select the second photo as described in Step 2. Choose an image with the
same bit-depth as the photo selected for Image 1.
