Changing opacity in a selection on a layer without changing the entire layer.

-

i've been using photoshop cs2 several years enhance photographs, have encountered simple cannot find out how do.   have on background layer picture of room interior exposure set open window, rest of room dark.  on other layer, upper one, have same shot exposed correctly room, overexposes window aea.  upper , lower layers superimposed, , upper layer @ 100% opacity.  have selected window on upper layer , want change selected area's opacity blend window on bottom layer without changing opacity of rest of layer.  no matter do, changing opacity seems affect entire layer, , haven't figured out how isolate selected area opacity change.

 

i can cut selection reveal darker window on bottom layer, doesn't give me flexibility need balance 2 exposures. opacity change ideal.

 

any ideas?

okay -- figured out workaround.  did opacity change whole layer window looked way wanted,and flattened image. left me great rendition of window, not of room.  added new layer @ 100% opacity room image overexposed window.  repeated window selection on new layer , did cut, revealed window in room image.  flattened image , proceeded there

 

i'm closing question solved.
