Making an image semi-transparent… Or is that semi-opaque?

[rich2005]

Is a water glass half full or half empty? Depends on your viewpoint.

You need to experiment with Gimp a little.

Have a base layer. Add another image layer. Add a layer mask (white). Apply a black to white gradient in the layer mask

Full transparent one side (white), fully opaque other side (black) varies between.



Could I make that into a clipboard brush? Yes, easiest is copy a single complete layer, so a new-from-visible layer, then copied. Working as a brush.
