The current challenge tells me that I have forgotten everything I ever knew about graphics, and that was very little to begin with. I am not sure even what terms to put into Google to begin looking. So, besides answering the direct question, I would also say a big thank you to any reference to a good introduction to graphics aimed at an absolute beginner. Here is the task: my fiancee and I wish to use a musical score as the faint background underneath the text of our wedding invitations. If it is not misuse of a technical term, I would characterize our goal as using the image as a "watermark." The invitations themselves will be printed in colour on "invitation" stock (heavy paper / light card).
1. Create a new image 2. Create a layer for the background 3. Paste the musical score in this layer, lower the opacity on that layer.
