V8 and & V7 same frustrating mess – the foreground to transparent gradient produces a black smear instead of what I want, which is, or course , a slow merge between two pictures.
I’ll paste in another shot, and try to "merge" them , and get instead a mess; I’ve read tutorials on this;oddly sometimes it seems to work, but 9 times out of 10 , nothing.

Are you sure your doing this correctly? Think your missing the quick mask

2 image layers

top layer, select the quick mask mode (q).
Select gradient tool – drag it over the image say left to right go to channels pallett, with quick mask selected , load channel as selection (dotted circle bottom of pallett)
Hit (q) again to go back into standard mode.
Hit backspace key to delete selected gradient.

You can then repeat with next layer or whatever.
