@HikerFromVA Hi, I'm a beginner at #graphics but fwiw I would also trying adding a layer and adjusting opacity.

I haven't used Lightroom but I'll just mention that for #mac I love both Pixelmator (paid w/free trial) and PaintPro by Yong Chen (free & paid; not related to Windows app!). They're perfect for a non-expert to do what I need without being overwhelming 😀 (And they don't collect data!)

Pixlr online is another fave ❤️ and I've graduated to the E version, haha! (https://pixlr.com/editor/)
