I have just purchased Affinity photo for the first time and not sure how to or where to save the overlays that came as an extra

Hello and welcome to the forums.

If you go to Help -> My Account... you can import the overlay files as assets. If you havn't activated assets, then go to View -> Studio -> Assets and tick it.

If there's a User Guide showing when you expand that category in the My Account dialog, be sure to read it.

Usually, with overlays, you just drag them from the Assets tab onto your image (or double click on the Asset, then use the mouse to position it). With some overlays you just need to position/re-size them and, maybe, adjust the transparency. With others you may need to apply a blend mode (usually multiply or screen.)
