				| 
 |  
				| 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.
