You can use layer masks to achieve this effect. Right click the layer in the layer dialog "add layer mask". a white area is displayed in the layer dialog beside the image. on this area you can paint with any tool. whice color represents fully visibility, black represents full transparency. if you paint in any gray tone it will make the image half transparent. hope that helps, -- Bernhard S.
