JASC Paint Shop Pro is relatively cheap compared to Photoshop and has the features you're after. It also has a 60 day trial period on the demo.

The master should also be a .tiff or .jpg at the same size and scale. If you are using Aerial Photography, you could also open the same photography set twice, set the transparency of one of the sets to say 50%, and move it above all of the other layers in the layer control. This has the same effect. Hope this helps!
