Merge or transparency?

[bbchase]

I am trying to make the cover for a brochure and I want to make the images transparent I believe. I have two photos and I want them to be transparent so that i can see both when they are overlapping. I have opened them both in separate windows, created a new image then pasted both of them in the new image.

I pasted tham as transparencies but nothing happened. I am using PSP and cannot figure this out, any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

If you put each image as a different layer, you can control the capacity of each layer separately. I am using PSP7.

Oops! Should have said Opacity. My software is in French - sometimes gets confusing.

What function do I use to control the capacity of each layer? I've played with it so much its killing me! Thanks for the response though.

Make sure the layers control panel is open: if not click View¦Toolbars¦Layers Palette.

Paste the image you want into a new layer, select this layer on the layers palette, and move the slider to achieve the degree of transparency you want.

That doesnt sound so hard, thank you! I will let you know how it goes.

I've been playing with it all day, it is great. I think the new adobe image program is much better but I used the same idea and i love it. Thanks for the help.
