Here's the answer.....
First, you'll wanna take either the bigger image (in both dimensions) or
create a new image that'll be able to
hold both, and set the big one as the background image. Then, create a new
layer and paste the smaller image
on top and position it.
The "Layers and Channels" Dialog box will have a "Mode: " combo box widget. It
should be set to "Normal",
which will hide the lower images. In this instance, you'll want to choose
"Darken Only" mode instead. With
this mode, the darkest shade in each grayscale image (or each RGB channel per
pixel for color images :) will
be the one that shows. This will get the effect you want (The type that a
xerox and transparency will get you.)
