Overlap Images

Pictures are now taken on a daily basis in a pretty abundant number, given most modern mobile phones are fitted with powerful cameras. These can be used in a variety of activities, ranging from wallpapers to textures. Enhancement is an options, and Overlap Images comes as a method of combining two pictures for a cool effect.

Note that the application doesn't require installation in order to function, so you can take it for a spin as soon as setup is over. This means it easily fits on a thumb drive in case you want to carry it around and use on other computers. Just make sure that the computer you use it on is fitted with .NET Framework to ensure functionality.

All it has to offer is found in a simple interface which poses no accommodation problems to beginners or experienced individuals. Three panels cover up the whole window, two of which are used for input, while the other is the output preview area. These can be resized in case you need more space for either of the sections.

The application supports pictures of various formats, but you need to use the dedicated browse dialogs to open them. A simple click in the first two sections is enough for the browse dialog to show up. Sadly, drag and drop is not supported here. A thumbnail shows up as soon as the image loads, and fitted to width.

When you're done loading the couple of pictures, you need to choose overlay type, which is either parallel or sequential. There's hardly any difference between the two, and result is generated immediately after picking the method. The biggest downside to the whole operation is that you can't save the resulting picture, which cuts out most, of not all practicality.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Overlap Images comes with good intentions, but without the possibility to save the final image, overall practicality is highly questionable. Even though the process is easy to configure, and image support is neat, you're not able to actually benefit from what you create.
