• Open two image files of your choice.
  
• Size the one that you will paste into the background so that it is half the size of the other image.
  

• Select the area that you want to transfer. For this example, I used the oval selection tool, with feather set to 20.
  
• After you have made your selection, press CTRL+C on your keyboard to copy it.
  
• Activate the second image and press CTRL+E to paste the image.
  

• Click on Image/Special Effects/Create Seamless Pattern
  
• The first image will be clear with the background image appearing as if it were behind a thick fog.
• The final result will be automatically resized to the size of the smaller image.
