Hi all, To blend two light/dark images into one, I use something I read about on Fred Miranda's site (at least I think it was there) open both images (#1 and #2), Select All on #1 , Paste into a new layer on #2. Then select the upper layer, and hit the "Create Layer Mask" at the bottom of the Layer box. Select the Layer Mask, and choose the Gradient tool. Draw a gradient across the image, down to where you want the division to be. Voila : The upper layer fades to transparent down to the division. You can even repeat the task, (copy/paste into layer #3) to put more density into other areas. I've also used a round mask, to tone down for example an overexposed foreground face (flashed out) -Terje * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
