a simple "translucent" look

Just to play.
Open your base image.
Open the image you like to see appearing "translucent" on the base (should have darks around)
Copy the second one as a layer on top of the base.
Add a mask "grayscale copy"
You did it.

Thank you so much for this play, Dinasset. I'd have never guessed to do this translucent effect, as it's the first time I use grey layer mask.

The best ideas start as "accidents".
