First steps
This is really easy but if you are not familiar with the s/w and terminology it can be sooooo...........
follow these easy steps and you will have no problem
the first step
open a new image size 2.5 X 3.5 inch (call it ATC BACK) this will contain just one background layer, which I will not use. Select VIEW and LAYERS TAB from the menu bar if you do not see a small box called layers
the first image
your background image
open the first image, your background, I then copy this image (ctrlC), and paste this as a new layer into the ATC BACK picture (select the right window)(ctrlL) ; you should see a new layer in the LAYER dialogue box
***you should then be able to grab the image using the MOVE TOOL and if it is bigger than the size of the ATC BACK, scroll it around for best effect.

The second image
the ghost image
Now for the second image. Open your second image (this is the one I will make the ghost image, for want of a better word)
***Resize as necessary using IMAGE ? IMAGE SIZE I have reduced this by 75 % for the ATC BACK
***Cut and Paste as a new layer ( notice it appears in the LAYER BOX), select the MOVE TOOL and position roughly, can be altered later

erase edges
to blend in better
Select the ERASER TOOLS and VIEW / ZOOM IN if necessary, select a BRUSH TIP (again VIEW / BRUSH TIP TAB) and erase the edges of the ghost image
the final step
for now
Now make sure that the right layer is selcted in the LAYER BOX and reduce the opacity, here i have reduced to about 60% either under LAYER or in the LAYER BOX
