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

way you like it. Here is mine with reduced opacity. |
