Load up the image you wish to make translucent.

On the right hand side of the screen you will see the Layers overlay window, its the one with a mini version of your picture in it.

Right Click on the picture and select Layer From Background and click OK in the dialogue box that pops up.

Then Right Click on the same small picture again and select Blending Options. In there you will see a slider called Opacity, this is where you can adjust the translucity of your image.

But what are you trying to do? Translucency is only going to make something behind your picture in another layer of your picture become more visible. Just making a picute translucent and saving it will only serve to "dim" it.

Angelina1 is the normal picture and Angelina2 is the picture that has had its opacity changed, as there is nothing behind it in the picture it just dims.

If you did have something in another Layer within the picture it would start to show through. Angelina3 is the Picture with Hello All behind it in another Layer, and Angelinas opacity set at 50%, in the final picture the Opacity is set at 20%.
