    Hi cheryl
    You could use the feather command. Drag and drop the photo ontop of the other – draw a square from top left down to bottom then half way across and select feather by around 60% then delete.

    It may be the wrong way to do this, as I’m self taught, but it does work.

    Thank you 🙂
    I know how to do the feather option, but only used this when creating a soft border….
    I will have a search about for Chris’s pointer and have a go. and all else fails try the feathering.
    I know how to do this on corel but I know that sending corel files to print with transparancies can cause problems and colour issues.
    thanks for you input guys.

    I think the gradient mask is the ‘proper’ way do it
