Blending question

[alishamitchum]

Before you scream at me and tell me to search...I have...below is a picture that I did about a year ago using paint.net. I am trying to do something similar but can't find a dang tutorial to do it!!!!

What is this something similar you're trying to do? It looks like a picture like this would just involve some transparency manipulation.

Oh yeah, NEXT TIME USE SEARCH!eleven!!one!!

The image above is two seperate pix, one of a pregnant belly and one of a fetus that I blended together...how do I do that? I know that sounds stupid, but I really did do this I just can't remember how or where the tutorial is...

It looks like what you did there was:

1.) Put the picture of the baby on a separate layer.

2.) Use a transparent gradient to fade it into the bottom image.

So, I guess you're question is how to use transparent gradient.

To get a transparent gradient:

1.) Click on the Gradient tool ( ).

2.) Change :AllColorChannels: into :AlphaChannel: .

3.) Select the type of gradient you want. Either a linear ( :LinearGradient: ), Reflected Linear ( ), Radial ( ), or conical ( ) gradient.

4.) Draw the gradient.

Hope this helps. :wink:

Kinda like this tutorial, though it's pretty basic.
