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.

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.
