Once you've selected an effect or image, you can manipulate it to your artistic style. Use your fingers or mouse to reposition the image and resize it. Once you've done that, you can change the opacity of the layer and the blending mode. You'll find most blending modes you could need like normal, brighten, darken, contrast, and transfer.
That's it! Click the little check mark to confirm your edit and you're done. Play around with the tool to get familiar with it. You'll notice most options for manipulation are the same, but gradient and duotone have a few more options unique to those effects.

You can add your own custom overlays to Polarr. Adding is straightforward, just click on the custom section of the overlays and click the add button where you can import your own overlay. Once added, you can edit and manipulate it like any other layer.
Deleting a custom overlay will require a long-press on the custom overlay on iOS or Android to bring up the option to delete. Desktop users can right-click to one of their custom overlays to delete it.
