"Composite Image Possibilities" (Masking)
Have you ever wanted to cover up a portion of an image, say for instance, and then superimpose/blend another image on top?
You can utilize gradient masks in Producer to create your own custom slideshow images.
Here is a simple demonstration of how this can be done.

Thanks Bob.
I like to find ways to take advantage of Producer's capabilities without using something like Photoshop if possible.
Now that we have a specific tutorial section I thought I'd re-post the links here to some of these short tutorials.
I don't use voice over audio so I hope hope people can follow them ok.

Thanks
Thanks Debbie,
What a great idea, I think I can follow it. It just takes me a little longer to work it out, but I usually get there in the end. For me to be able to use PSP rather than Photoshop is great as I have only learnt about 5% of Photoshop if that. So thanks again it looks great and I am now going to try it out.
Cheers Penny

Thanks Debbie, its much appreciated, it's not only a great trick but you inspired an idea in me, since I have no pics of my great grandparents together, I'm going to try that technique and put them together in the same pic without having to use photoshop!

What a great technique. Thanks for not only telling us the idea, but showing how to do it. Great job.

Kelly,
I really cannot take the credit as it's not my idea. I was just trying to present how to do this in a way people might be able to grasp. It took me a while to "get" the gradient mask thing in Producer. I think if I had a visual like this, it would have come to me a lot quicker.
This was inspired by another show I saw. What is interesting to me is that the possibilities are so many. If you have a lot of different images, you might be able to make some really interesting combinations with them.
I thought I might mention too that I used the colorize feature in Producer to turn the images to sepia. The image on the left you may already recognize. It is actually a B&W image from Photodex's content backgrounds folder. The other is a color photo I took one day of an old building in the California gold country area. I think Producer did a good job matching them.
