I think the picture ‘Memories’ (http://www.oz-greetings.com.au/photo) is an example where Photoshop’s Blending Options worked well. After importing the bench I went to ‘Layer Style’ – ‘Blending Options’ and then chose a percentage for Opacity under ‘Blend Mode’. Question: is there a way where you can make your subject fade from 100% opacity down to a lower level? (So that it is partly fully present and then fades to less).
Thanks for tips – Klaus and Rusty

I can’t find it on my drive, but I did an animation of a civil war cemetery with a soldier. The soldier came into view as if appearing from the mist, became fully revealed, and then faded out.

Just a matter of changing the opacity of the soldier in each layer in Photoshop and then loading the frames into Image Ready>Animation. I was using Photoshop 7.0 at the time. There are several animation programs; some free.

Thanks for reply, Tony. How you describe your soldier appearing like out of mist is exactly the effect I am after.
