Hey, how do you you fade images in the background...

like this one above, see how the images are all faded in one and other ^^
plz tell me!

Change the OPACITY of an image. I don't use Photoshop, but I imagine that their is the ability to change the opacity. The lower the percentage the more fading you will get.

Thanks but, I dont think you understand what I mean, I want to blend one image on top of the other...

^ see how the metroid's sholder fades in the guys head... How?

That's rather simple to do, what you want to do is select the parts that you want to keep (hopefully each image has its own layer, if it doesn't, you're screwed to say the least), withe a high amount of feathering (maybe 20-30) then use an inverse selection. Then delete. The image fades out in the shape of the selection.

O.O
Can I do that with paintsop
(Thanks, I will try it)

Yes, you most certainly can do that with paintshop pro.

If you are using Photoshop CS, then it has a simple wizard that sees you through creating a "photomerge". Go to:

File>Automate>Photomerge

Dead easy to use!

There are several ways you can do this, i tend to use the eraser tool using different levels of opacity. E.g i would start brushing the image with 20% opacity then move futher towards the edge with 30% etc.

Depends the type of fade/opcacity you want. Best just search through some decent tutorials to try find how to do the particular effect you're after.

if i understand what you're trying to do, i'd create and use a gradient layer mask

changing the opacity and blending mode of each image should do it (if each image is on its own separate layer). thsi way, you can still drag them around and position them however you want while being able to see the results immediately.

also, some light eraser action could be a good solution if you only want to affect a part of a particular layer. you could also select the part of the layer you want to blend into another image, make it into its own layer, (cut and paste), and use the first method I described.
