My photo starts from the upper left corner and covers about 1/2 the page in both directions. I want to fade it in from the right at the top and also from the left at the bottom, but at different rates of fading, distance and shape. Can I accomplish that at one time? Or, do I need to apply one transparency save it as a separate bitmap and then apply the second transparency?
Edit in PhotoPaint
Here's an example with a gradual fade up from the bottom and a tighter fade around the head.
