A fade question

I have a web page with a green background. I have a picture that I want to fade into the green so that it is barely visible but you can still make out the object in the picture.

I have pretty much achieved this by choosing an inner glow effect and using the same green color as my glow color but I wanted to ask if I am doing this right or is there a better way.

Thanks

Could you show us your site so we could see...?
At least I didn't exactly know what you mean by that...

(leave the green background and put the image you want on another layer above that one then put less opasity on the image? Or use some of the blending options?)

I'm still not sure what you really are asking for...?

When I use just the regular blending effect you still see the square outline of the picture. Lets say I have a picture of Michael Jordon slam dunking a basketball. The picture is in full color but I just want in to fade to green and have Jordon melt into my green background and you do not have this square outline of the orginal pic.

Thanks

Just use the eraser tool with a large brush set to "brush" (not pencil) and choose a brush with soft edges. Then erase as you see fit and it will look like it's blending into the background.

Layer mask or gradient mask would be the best option. Choose the gradient tool (g) and select a coloured (whatever colour green) to transparent gradient (default is probably white to transparent). Make sure that you are not choosing a b&w gradient.
