Oh, that was so simple and straight forward. THANK YOU! I have been confused with that gradient tool for years, lol. PLEASE when you have time do one with two pics or three. I'm trying to figure out how to make a desktop wallpaper with at least 2 images and I have yet to find anyone to explain it sensibly. I feel like the layers and masking too is the key to great blends. PLEASE keep these up!

Great tutorial, but when I try to edit my layer mask it just edits the actual picture, please help!

@PoweredMinecart You should be able to select either the image part of the layer or the mask by clicking on either thumbnail in the layer palette (see 0:36 in video). (Photoshop only indicates this with a thin, extra outline around the thumbnail of the part you're editing.) Depending on which one is selected, your brush or other tool will act on either the image itself or the mask (alpha channel).

what happens if you use other colors besides black and white on the mask?

@teddymv Good question. The mask is only shaded to represent the opacity/transparency in terms of brightness/darkness. It's technically just an extra channel, which you can even view in the channels palette if you want, along with the usual RGB channels (or whatever colour mode your image is in).
