[Gimp-user] Web background
I cannot find a way in Gimp 2.0.1 to decrease the file size of an image so that I can load it as a background in an HTML file and have acceptable load times. Apparently this can be done in Photoshop under File and save as web page(or similar).Not being a Photoshop or Windows user I am going on hearsay.

[Gimp-user] Blending two photos
I have two photos taken 6 months apart. Both were taken at 07:00 AM, of the sunrise ie One in the middle of winter and the other in the middle of summer. Now what I would like to do is combine the two images into one but with one fading into the other. At first glance the blend tool should do the trick but as neither image has a single colour background this, I do not believe, will work. The secnd approach I took was as laid out in an article by Eric Jeschke in Linux Journal April 2003 using Layer Masks and adding Filters, however either I am doing something really silly or this does not work in Gimp 1.3.20. So, so far I am a little confused.
