How to Add Photo Overlays and Color Codes in PicMonkey

For the longest time I wished that I didn't have to just use the PicMonkey collage feature to format images. I had wanted to overlay logos that had a transparent background, overlap photos for infographics and tutorials and add in any custom images from clients wherever I wanted to place them.

I have finally figured it out though, and it's so simple to do in PicMonkey (I can't believe it took me this long to figure this out), and so wanted to share for others, like me, who wanted to do these things but didn't know how.
