This is the only reason I even use Corel Photopaint at all, in order to do this...(See Picture).I want to be able to do it in Photoshop cs2, but havent got a clue as to how. In Photopaint, there is a tool that lets you choose a point in a layer, and fade it out. I use this tool when overlapping and blending layers together. I cant do my style of artwork without being able to acheive this. With Photopaint, I can fade out and blend together as many individual layers as I need to. Can anyone help? Ryan-

just add a layer mask and use a gradient. white reveals, black conceals. Then use levels to adjust.

I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now I'll be mad. (Rumi)

You could also use a large soft eraser. Muck around with the opacity level.

Aeneas, method is probably the quickest:)

I never intended to make art.

I would use mask too, with mask you just hiding pixels while with erazor you delete them. If you think that you want to change something, you can allways edit layer mask even after closing PS :)

The mask approach with gradient tool is the way I usually do it too.

You could also select an area with the lasso tool, for example, feather it, then delete.  The color below the layer will be revealed in a gradual way depending on the amount of feathering.

What's wrong with using both programs... the strength and ease of each for certain sectins of the image...  What you want to do - I'm with Aenaes as far as method in photoshop... but seems it is easier in photopaint from what you describe...
