OH, okay- I thought he was talking about two images overlapping, and just wanted the overlapping area to "blend" together. I didn't know he was talking about placing one image on top of the other. If this was what you're trying to do, then yes, opacity changes will work just fine.

Yeah, that'll do it. Open the layers control panel, click on the first image then use the slider on the panel to change the Opacity/Transparency number value.

I think Opacity would do the trick

Hey,
Maybe you have figured it out by now, but if not I think this will work.

In fireworks, insert the two images. Then click one of the imagesm and change its Opacity (not quite sure which menu its under). Try putting it at something like 40%. This means that the image will be 40% there and 60% see through (for lack of better wording). For the other image, set the opacity to a similar level. This should do the trick.

Hi,
I'm not totally sure how to do this in Fireworks, but this is how you would do it in photoshop:

You can either use the eraser tool as it says in the tutorial, or you can play around with gradients in quickmask mode...
