Second, load your face claim's image, set the blend mode on screen, then enlarge it to your liking! You can add filters by tapping 'Effects' before you save!
Now, for the picture, I chose one at random from my gallery but you, of course, will probably choose a photo that relates to your book!

Lower the opacity until you're satisfied and merge! Then if you want to sharpen your graphic up just a bit, tap on Effects > FX > Sharpen. I usually keep my fade in the 80's department, but you decide what looks best!
After all that, save your cover as a PNG and bam! all done :))
