Right now my code does a two step process to print a image Over the current image. Take Image and save image to imageView. Then via another button its print the image over the imageView. How can I do all of this in 1 button not 2.

```
                              @IBAction func takePhoto(_ sender: UIButton) {
imagePicker = UIImagePickerController()
imagePicker.delegate = self
imagePicker.sourceType = .camera
present(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
imagePicker.cameraOverlayView = mainView

    }
 @IBAction func Mask(_ sender: Any) {
let bottomImage:UIImage = UIImage(named: "backdropd")!

let heart:UIImage = UIImage(named: "edit")!

let newSize = CGSize(width: bottomImage.size.width, height: bottomImage.size.height )
let newSize2 = CGSize(width: bottomImage.size.width, height: bottomImage.size.height)
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, false, bottomImage.scale)
let left:UIImage = imageTake.image!

left.draw(in: CGRect(x: newSize2.width/5,y: newSize2.height/5,width: newSize2.width/2,height: newSize2.height/5), blendMode:CGBlendMode.normal, alpha:1.0)

heart.draw(in: CGRect(x: 0,y: 0,width: newSize2.width,height: newSize2.height), blendMode:CGBlendMode.normal, alpha:1.0)

let newImage:UIImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()!
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

imageTake.image = newImage

     }

```

Hi there! Why don’t you implement both steps in the same `IBAction` (not quite sure from your code what’s actually stopping you from doing just that after all but I may be wrong and missing something over here though)? Cheers! :]
