Hi Kelly, Hopefully this will help you further along with Nancy's suggestions. Go to "File" tab, then scroll to browse. Find the picture you wish to use as the base image; double mouse click on the thumbnail to open it. Repeat process to open second picture. In your left tool tab, place your cursor over the "Quick mask mode" Looks like grayed rectangle with white circle inside it; click on it. Then in left toolbar panel click on the eraser icon. Set your brush size, opacity setting at 100%. Make sure your Foreground square is set to white; background square set to black. Then erase parts of background you don't want around your image. Set brush size large to erase large portions at a time. Smaller brush size for closer detail work around your image you wish to crop. Areas you erase will turn the opaque color you chose for indicating the mask. After done erasing around the image you wish to keep; click on the Standard edit icon. Looks like the white rectangle with white circle inside. This will show your "marching ants" selection(moving dotted lines). Go to the "Edit" tab at top of workspace and scroll to option cut. Then you can either paste back into original picture, then click on the eyeball icon for the background layer in your Layer manager toolbar to the right. This will make transparent all areas aroung the cut image you pated back into the photo. Then you can save this image without "Flattening" as a copy of original image in the .psd format or as .tif format to retain the transparent area around the image you selected. This layer can then be pasted into your first image. If you don't need to save the selection by itself, then just paste into the original image you first opened. Click on the arrow of the "Opacity" tab in your Layer manager toolbar; adjust to your choice. You can then further change by playing with other options in the layer and fill settings. http://groups.msn.com/MagikilsWall/shoebox.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=147 http://groups.msn.com/MagikilsWall/shoebox.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=148 http://groups.msn.com/MagikilsWall/shoebox.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=149 http://groups.msn.com/MagikilsWall/shoebox.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=150

at top of screen there's a windows heading(file,edit,image,select,windows,help) under that you see show options,show info,show layers, etc.. This allows you to view or hide different palletes on the screen. Click the show layers and the layers pallete comes up. When you cut and paste one photo on top of another, at the top of the layers pallete is a sliding scale titled opacity. Slide that to adjust how transparent you want a layer to be.

ps is great, but can be complicated. I merge with Microsoft Picture it. Its much easier to do for that. Just open a picture, click in the second one, and you can pick degree of fade to merge it and size it. Menu driven and easy.
