Spent many hours of experimenting, using the guidance you gents have given

Sorry, I don't think "transform" will change the size; what you need to

I looked at Bing on stage, and that's where I want to go but then make Bing
transparent so the background shows through. I appreciate your offer, if you
want to give me an email address I'll send you a 2 layer pic. In my pic you
can reverse the layers to see both but one is pure white whereas it's

Opacity is not in the toolbar; it's in the layers dialog, accessible by
the keyboard shortcut CTRL+L, or by selecting the "layers" item in the
through the windows "Dockable dialogs" menu item in
I think I'm using Gimp 2.6. I see a 2.6.9 out there maybe? Maybe a have a
version just a bit older than what you're giving me instructions for?

This is frustrating. GIMP seems quite simple but obviously first discovery
isn't intuitive. I successfully copied and layered two photos, I verify by
reversing the layers, all good. I think I found opacity in the toolbar but I
change it and there's no difference. I'm thinkin I'm sooo close but am

That's my guess too. Try Image->Scale image on the singer's pic and
scale it down to roughly the same size as the background pic. Then d
Man, you're gonna think I'm a complete dumbass. If I can get this to work
once, I know I'll be ok. It appears I've copied the singer's pic onto the
background but I can't get past the white screen? I can choose reverse layers
and my background is layer 1 but layer 2 is a complete white screen. I c

OK - so what you want to do here is fuzzy select, then copy. Skip the
select all, or you will have to repeat the fuzzy select step after y

Use the layers dialog to switch layers, toggle visibility, adjust
opacity, etc. A decent tutorial from a quick search:
http://www.tankedup-imaging.com/gimp
I just wanted to add, the photo for the top layer is our group lead singer so
there's some white space around some of the picture that needs to be deleted.
Before I select all, I use the fuzzy select tool to highlight only the person
in the picture, then do select all, edit, copy.

Thanks Chris, appreciate the help. Makes sense but I'm still having trouble.
I follow your instructions and get a 2 layer picture but all I can see is a
white page? I can't get to the 1st layer (background). The two photos are
different sizes and resolutions if that makes any difference. It seems

In overlay image: select->all, edit->copy.

You now have an image with two layers. Delete/fade/edit/whatever you
need to on the top layer.

I'm creating a CD cover and would like to overlay a transparent photo over a
really nice background photo. I've read extensively through the manual and
have viewed tutorials so I know this can be done. I printed and tried to
