6. reduce opacity for a lighter effect
In PI go to Edit>Fill, white at 50% or higher transparency. Play with it to find transparency you prefer.
In PSP, right click in layer palette>new raster layer. Fill with fill tool, white, reduce opacity in layer to transparency you prefer.
In Photoshop: Layer>New>Layer, then using the Paint Bucket tool, fill with white, go to the layer palette and reduce opacity. Play with it to find transparency you prefer.
A good number to start with is 50, see if you like it, if not play with it till you get it looking the way you like it.
Here is mine with reduced opacity.
