3. Use the Multi Selector to move the yellow box to the
Image 2 position (see Figure 6-9, image 5). Press the OK
button and select the second picture from the image
selection screen, then press the OK button again to insert
the image (see Figure 6-9, images 5-7). As mentioned in
step 2, you can use the X1.0 field to vary the density of
the second image in the overlay, just like the first. Try to
match the density as much as possible to provide a
realistic overlay.
4. Move the yellow box to the Preview area. You’ll see two
selections below it: Overlay and Save. Choose one of
them (see Figure 6-9, image 8).
5. If you select Overlay, the D300(S) will temporarily
combine the images and present you with another screen
that allows you to see the images more closely. You can
press the OK button to save the new image under a new
file name or the checkered Thumbnail/playback zoom
out button to return to the previous screen.
6. If you choose Save instead of Overlay and press the OK
button, the D300(S) immediately combines the two
images and saves the new image under a new file
name—without letting you review the image first.
Basically, the Save selection saves now, while Overlay
gives you a preview of the combination to allow you a
choice of modifying or saving it.
My Recommendation: This is an easy way to overlay
images without a computer. There are some drawbacks,
though. One image may have a strong background that is
impossible to remove, no matter how much you fiddle with
the image density or gain (X0.1 to X2.0). This is a situation in
