Oh you're so down-to-earth. You really are good. Even if you know all tools...it still takes one
creative person to think of designs and layouts that will actually work. And you are both.

BTW, what tool should I use if I want to blend 2 layers/images to make them like fade into each other? Hope it's ok to ask this.

Well, thank you.

I appreciate it. For the layering tool, it's easier to utilize the Layers popup (opened by pressing F7). It'll help you out. To layer images over, open the image you wish to layer into another image up and drag it over to the file you wish for it to layer over. It should appear overlapping the other image. To fade it, you can use either the Opacity tool on the Layers popup I was speaking off (upper right corner of it), which changes only the transparency of the image, or you can use the Eraser tool with a decreased hardness. (Don't laugh, because I know I am.

) The hardness affects the pixels erased; less hardness decreases the accuracy of the pixels erased, thus resulting in a faded effect.
To change the hardness, click the Eraser tool, then select the little arrow beside the circle on the upper tool bar that appears. It should be in a column that says "Brush". From there, decrease the hardness from 100% to 0%, then increase the size of the brush. After these changes, with the layer you added still selected, start erasing the edge of the image. You'll notice an immediate fade. You can also do this to other layers by selecting another layer at the active layer in the Layers popup. (The active layer selected is highlighted in bold.)
I hope I explained that properly. I usually suck as explaining things.
