We have seen people use transparent overlays in many different ways, you guys are SO creative! We would love to see more of your creative work!! (read *tag @plannthat!* 😉
Getting a Transparent Overlay Instagram Story:
Select a Photo for Your Instagram Story
Select any photo (or video) that you want to upload to your Instagram story.
Tap the Pen
Tap the pen in the top right corner. Then choose the second marker from the left. Oh yess, it is this specific marker that will make the overlay transparent/see-through!
Choose What Colour You Want the Transparent Overlay to be
Choose what color you want the transparent overlay to be, then tap and hold the screen. This will create the transparent overlay. Yehooo!
Don’t Want the Transparent Overlay to Cover the Whole Photo/Video?
When your picture/video is covered, tap the eraser brush. The eraser brush allows us to erase the transparency from any part of the photo. Erase away!
There are so many cool ways to use this feature!
Tip: Tag us @plannthat in your work so we can feature your creative master ideas!
