Transparencies

[DragonsFire]

I have Photoshop 9.0, How do I take my line drawing and make it transparent to lay over a copy of the drawing that I have colored? I know there must be a way to do it, however, when I lay the line drawing over the colred version, it just covers it entirely. Also, is there a way to take multiple line drawings, import them, and then be able to overlay them on each other so that thier lines show through each other?

ANy advice would be most helpful.

Thank you

Put your lineart layer above your painting layer with the layer mode set to mulitply.

OK. I am a complete moron. Where exactly IS the "multiply" setting?

Edited: I really AM a moron! I just found the multiply setting. Thank you Elwell :)

On the layers palette, directly under the tab is a drop down menu for layer modes. You can assign a different blending mode to any layer except the background. Multiply makes the layer behave as if it were transparent, the other modes have different effects. Play around with them and see what you come up with.
