Include overlay when exporting

Hello everybody,

I am using Capture One 9.3 and Windows 8.1.
I have recently started to use the overlay tool in the composition tab.

I use it as explained, by dropping an image file (jpeg or png) in the box and then adjusting the opacity and the position.
However, after I export the variant in jpg (I also tried png for record), the overlay effect is literally invisible.
The output file is simply the main image, as if I had put nothing in the overlay box.

Is there something I miss? Like an export option I should have checked? I tried to overview the export options but found nothing.

Thank you in advance.

  The Overlay tool is designed to be used for composing, currently there isn't a way to export the image with the overlay from within Capture One.

  Is this a feature we can request?
  Unlike the watermark tool, when i use a image in overlay mode, it scales my image perfectly every time without me changing the scale. I wish the watermark tool did this. When I drop an image in, I have to change the scale every time because my ratios are different due to different sensor sizes.

  No need to request the feature as it was built-in Capture One 11 (and now 12 of course). In your Process Recipe, Metadata tab, set the checkmark for Overlay.
  
  When you export to PSD, you can have the Overlay in a separate layer in Photoshop.
