    How do I overlap it with another photo?
    Community Answer
    Look for the "Layers" menu in the right or left sidebar. Right-click the white space with the layers and click "New Layer." Select "Transparency" under "Layer Fill Type." Select that layer and paste the image you want to overlap. Then, towards the top of the Layers menu, change the opacity to a number lower than 100%. This will make the layer partially transparent, creating an overlaying effect.
