Adding the effect in Photoshop
Adding Firefly overlays in photoshop is pretty simple, for the transparent overlays you can place them over
the image and you don't need to apply a blend mode, However for the black background overlays you will
need to provide one of 3 blend modes lighten, screen or color dodge.
You can scroll through the various blend modes in photoshop and find the right blend effect you are looking for.
To apply the blend mode simply select the layer and apply it to get the desired effect.
