Question
how to put 1 picture softly as background picture in a nother one? i really need help!
Hi Koen,
One way to do this is using Apply Image. This command is found under the Image pulldown menu.
Open two images, one you want as your source, and one as your destination. It could be, for example, a person and a background. Make sure they're both the same size and resolution. Then, in the background file, select the layer that has the background image. Now go to Image>Apply Image. Make the source the file with the person in it, and the destination should automatically be the background file. The two images should be merged, at this point.
You can be very specific as to which channel you want this to affect, but usually in a case like yours, RGB should be OK. Also, keeping the blending at Multiply (the default) should work all right, too. But you can tinker around and play with your results.
Let me know if this works! If not, we'll figure out something else.

Expertise
I've used Photoshop since the release of version 2. I taught college commercial art and graphic design for 10 years, and within that realm, taught Photoshop at every level, and with each successive product upgrade. My experience with Photoshop is thus extensive and well-rounded, from photo retouching to color adjustment to incorporating Photoshop and ImageReady into Web design. I am primarily a Mac user (since 1985), but am also PC-savvy.
Experience
I've been a graphic designer for 22 years, was a national magazine art director, a designer for the Department of Defense, a college art instructor, and have my own freelance Web and graphic design business, LittleWorks (www.little-works.com). I've also worked for several printing companies, in both prepress and art.
Awards and Honors
PICA award (Printing Industry of the Carolinas Award for the design of a media kit that accompanied a magazine I was art directing at the time)
