Greetings!
Ok I've scoured the boards, and the tutorials site and i can't find out how to do this technique.
Im more than sure i just don't know what the proper term or name for the procedure is and im just over looking the already givin info........sorry.

I always see pictures that are transparent on for example a Sig.........or you see a movie poster......One shot of the actors face is solid and the one behind it is transparent.
(Sorry for the poor explanation)

Can anyone suggest some tutorials or the name of the technique so i can research it myself?

Thank you

explain more what you want to do, you'd have to use .gif files..

go to google.. " transparency in photoshop" or something similar.. there a more than enough, maybe you're searching for the wrong thing

oooooh, like a hologram

open an image... your background, find a girl... put her on layer 2.. layer1 being ur background, click on layer 2

in layer palette, top right -> opacity make it like 50-75% or how much u want

NO PROBLEM..
oops caps

if you have the "girl" and she has a background, one you dont want, u can erase it, or if its almost 1 color, use the "magic wand".. right under the move tool, and it selects color ranges, press "delete" after it selected the area u dont want
