Need help laying a film over an image

[GTP webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I have a jpg file, its a house. I want to lay a film over the whole image to give the image a different film cover over the image. Kind of like when you insert a hotspot over an image, you still see the image through the film layed on top before you export it.

Can someone please help me?

Thanks,
Greg

Could you describe in more detail what you want it to look like when you
are done? I can't quite grasp what it is you are trying to do.

Drag out a rectangle large enough to cover your JPEG, fill it with your
favorite color, then reduce its opacity in the Layers panel.

Let me try.

Take any image that has color. Lay a transparent green, red, yellow, what ever color, film over the top. You can see the image through the film but now the image has a red, green, whatever tint to it. How do you lay the film over the image, is it maybe adding a layer on the top? Is it a mask? or a matte?

Thanks,
Greg

In addition to Lanny's suggestion, you try the blend modes on the red
rectangle.
