 Find the castle tiles you want to modify and drag them onto your image. This should add each castle image as a separate layer. In this case I'm modifying the "castle-convex" parts of pekka's castles.
 Press 'M' and move the layers around so that the images line up around the central white hex. The layers should snap to the guides in the overlay template, so this should be easy to get exactly right.
