twisting / angling a photo - please help driving me mad!

Ok, so ive done it once, but forgotten how i did it...nothing special, just simply getting a photo and being able to twist it slightly or rather angle it would be a better way of saying it..just turning it say 35 degrees....any ideas?

Do you create the image as an object first?

I have one photo, large, and want to place the 2nd smaller photo at an angle on top of it. Thats all.

While i think about it...

Now, Ideally, if any bright sparks out there would know this as well....ideally i would like to just so slightly fade a corner of the 2nd smaller image allowing the first image ( water spraying ) to go over the top of the corner of my 2nd image..ive seen and played with the fading buttons, funny shapes..did all that...but cant seem to just fade slightly the corner section of my 2nd photo. Any thoughts?

It's not an easy one to answer because you do not give much away. Generally speaking, you use the main picture as back ground and place additional photos on top of that. Open the additional photos, apply a mask to it to give you the required fading effect, convert the selection to an object, copy and paste onto the main photo. Resize this to the required size, angle it anyway you like and you are done. While you are at it, make sure you save intermediate steps in the ULEAD native format of .ufo with no compression applied in "Options".

Once all the images are placed, save the ufo file for future usage, if you want, and save the whole thing as jpeg, bmp or any other format your printer accepts. Done.

I use this technique very often to create collages for a large format photo album. You can see a sample of this here
