put images in separate layers, change the opacity of the top layer till it is as you want, then merge layers.

There are several ways to combine two images.

Generally, you can copy one picture to another picture. Choose 'layer -> add layer mask'. Using paint brush to brush the part you want to show on the background.

I don't have photoshop on hand right now. I couldn't show you in details. I will post more detail later on.

Hello could you explain in greater detail step by step how to do this please? I want an image on another image with the outer of the image at the back showing but not showing through the image I put on it in the middle of it if you see?
Thanks
