Hi, I have two images each one on it's own layer.

I would like to make just part of the top layer partially transparent so that the back ground layer shows through a bit.

I have tried selecting that part of the image and then adjusting the transparency slider for that layer but the whole image wants to change.

The only thing I can think of that is preventing me doing this is the fact that on my top layer to extract the person from the image I used the Refine Tool.
So I now have in the top layer the layer thumbnail and the layer mask thumbnail.

A picture speaks a thousand words and all that jazz.
