I hope you realize that most image processing software, e.g. Photoshop, can
already do this? You just put each image in its own layer, then adjust the
opacity controls...

Perhaps I misunderstand, because it seems to me it's trivial. If at a
particular location, one image contains RGB values (10,50,30), and the
other image contains RGB values (40,100,0), then the combination at 50% is
(25,75,15), i.e. simply the average of the two. For combinations other
than 50%, simply use a weighted average. In short, for each R, G, and B
component of each pixel, the combined intensity is (I1*f + I2*(1-f))/2,
where I1 and I2 are the intensities in images 1 and 2, and f is the
fraction of intensity you wish to allocate to the first image versus the
second.
