newbie question

This is prolly a very easy effect but being as I am a total cementhead in photoshop, I'm hoping you can lend me your wisdom.

I'm assuming my question is a begginer question. If it's been answered before, sorry I must of missed it.

My question is a blending question. I know in a feathered effect, the image will gradually fade into whatever color you select. Now I have seen images that fade, not into a color but into another img. Whereby it just seems to fade into the other img you have. has an example of it where the img on the right feathers on the bottom into that brownish colorhere and on the top left to the other img. How is that done?

Say you have two layers...one is the brown building and the other is the grey floor, like in the img...select half of the ground layer, feather it around 10 pixels and ctrl+j it. This will lift the select off onto another layer. do the same for the brown, only select the bottom half. In the channels, create a new layer, it will be called 'alpha'. Grab the gradient tool, with colours black and white, and drag a verticle gradient on the black screen. Now select click the layer...the whitest part should be selected. Now click onto your ground or brown layer and press delete. Keep pressing to take more away. There are other ways of doing att this of course...you could alway just use the eraser tool with a very low pressure on the top layer.

Thnx cybling boy, that was pretty easy. Appreciate the quick responce
