# Compositing options
**Compositing** is the process or technique of combining visual elements from separate sources into single images. Icon Pack Studio provides 5 different compositing modes.
## **Overlap**
The overlap method is the **standard compositing mode**. Shape B is just placed on top of Shape A.\
If Shape B is translucent, you will see part of Shape A under the area occupied by Shape B.
## **Printed on**
This mode is similar to overlap, but the area of the Shape B that exceeds the borders of Shape A are not drawn. If Shape B is translucent, you will see part of Shape A under the area occupied by Shape B.\
\
**Please note**: If Shape B is completely contained in the area of Shape A, Print on will work exactly like Overlap.
## **Engraved**
When Engraved is selected, Shape B is subtracted by Shape A, generating a hole in the picture on the bottom. In this case, the color of Shape B is ignored.
## **Overwrite**
When Overwrite is selected Shape B will replace the content of Shape A instead of overlapping it.\
If Shape B is translucent, you won't see Shape A under the area occupied by Shape B.
**Please note:** If Shape B is opaque, Overwrite will work exactly like Overlap.
