Title: Photoshop help...
Post by: FALSE on November 26, 2011, 01:06:47 am
Hi,
I've been mostly lurking on this forum and slowly setting up a mame pc with eventual plans to build a cab.
This is completely unrelated to mame and arcades, pretty much just a shot in the dark hoping to get help on something I'm doing for christmas.

I want to take a picture and than put another picture on top of it and fade the second picture so that you can see through it and see the first picture underneath it.
I'm sure this is something totally simple to do but I know absolutely nothing about photo editing programs.

I have photoshop cs 8 or I could use any free program.

I'm really hoping someone would be willing to hold my hand through what is probably a simple process.

Thanks!

Just put one picture on top of the other picture then with the top picture you adjust the opacity level.

Thanks!  Exactly what I wanted and for some reason couldn't find the answer with Google.
