Thanks in advance,

Well? there are many ways with many different graphic software. Here is one way using Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0
1. open the image/icon/banner
2. select move tool (left tool bar)
3. click any number key 1-9 to reduce the opacity.
4. save as another file name, to keep the original intact.
Using Jasc Paintshop Pro 9
1. open the image
2. select layers (top menu)
3. select properties
4. reduce the opacity
5. save as a different file name to keep original file clean.
Or use the eraser tool with each image to clear the images and leave it 0% opacity.
Hope this helps?
