Blending Images with Layer Masksaccessuser said:
1.First thing you will need is 2 images. Make sure they are both in the same resolution (72 dpi for the web). Open both these documents in Photoshop.
2.We will want to combine both images into 1 document. Now select the move tool "V" key.
Drag one image into the other window and a new layer will be created automatically with the new layer on top.
Tip: To center the new image in the window hold down the Shift key while dragging
3. The Layer Mask
Click on the add layer mask button
This will create a new layer mask. A layer mask is transparent. When you paint black into the mask it allows the image underneath to show through. Where it is white, the underlying layer will be hidden.
4.Press the "G" key to select the gradient tool. Make sure the fore and backgrounds are set to black and white. "D" key. Select linear gradient and foreground to background.
Now drag the gradient horizontally across the image.
Extra:For an interesting variation change the layer blending modes.
I added one more pic for the final output with the same effect
