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 50, 52; all options 
are available). To create an NEF (RAW) copy, choose an image quality of NEF (RAW).
