Take a photo while overlaying a previously taken (or chosen) photo on the camera preview. Useful for taking photos with the same angle of view as old photos, or for puppet animations/stop motion. The overlay can be displayed in three different ways: semi-transparent, outline, or pulsating (crossfade). Version 2.0 adds multiple exposure (blend several shots into one photo), a self-timer with an on-screen countdown, a square aspect ratio option for both the live preview and the saved photo, and optional location tagging for saved photos. No ads, no in-app purchases — everything is included with a single purchase.
