Okay the fade image is a simple fade - there are more advanced ways to do this, and I will try to get a tutorial to get the more advanced way to do it (invovles selecting with wand tool, creating feathers etc).

Step One:
Place background image in new layer by selecting File->Insert

Step Two:
Insert overlay (top) image, either in current layer or a new layer if desired (File->insert) and position where desired over background image.  In the sample I just place it to the left.

Step 3:
Go to: Commands->Creative->Fade Image.

Then you should get the following selection box to choose how you want to fade the image - for this I chose a simple left-> right fade.

Step 4:
After clicking okay, the image is faded from left to right:

You can move, rotate and resize the fade by using the square selector:

You can also choose to do the radial fade (round fade) or top->bottom fade in step three.
