I have a picture of my dog, and I want to put another image of him in the background. How do I do that?
make multiple layersLoad both images and set them to the same resolution using Image>Size. Then drag the second image of the dog into the first image. (Use the Move tool and simply drag the one image into the other.)

The background image will be loaded into the main image in its own layer. Activate that layer and lower its opacity to get the faintness of the second image that you want.
With the move tool still active, you can position the second image exactly where you want it.
Then create a layer mask on the layer of the second image. (Click on the Layer Mask icon at the bottom of the Layers palette.
(It’s the square with a circle inside, the second icon from the left.) Now use a soft, black Brush to paint in the second image with that layer mask active. Painting with a black brush will block the detail from showing so you will see only the first image where you paint.. You can vary the opacity of the Brush tool to control how much of the blocked areas still show. If you paint too much (erase too much), change the brush to white and paint where you want to restore parts of the second image. With the mask still active, you can use the Filter>Blur>Gaussian to feather the edges of the second image so that that image blends in more smoothly with the first.
Good luck! . . . . patrick
