    I am using "Autumn falling leaves overlays" that I picked up in here. I've placed the overlay on the image and selected 'screen' but it has this faded look. I have tried the other blend modes as well and just can't get it to look right.

    I haven't had issues with overlays before. What am I doing wrong?

    I noticed the overlay file is jpg, so it's possible that is the issue

    Ahh, please check if the black is completely black, if not use level or curves to make it black, then it will become full transparent via screen, the leaves seems near white-ish so its should look fades, imo its better to create luminance mark via channels or by selecting the black and then inverting it and then tweak the mask through level or curves and partially blurring or feathering will make it look real.
