Anthony,

Have you tried changing the opacity of the layers?

Change it to rougly 70 and see what happens. You should still be able to see the detail underneath the paint.

Hey Anthony,
Stratobat has a good idea when changing the opacity of a layer, but that also fades ot the top layer's details.

A very useful feature in itself, but there is a another way that will do the trick.

Since you are using PSP8 and I happen to also, you're in luck. I know my way around the program just a bit.
