Here is a quick and dirty alpha blending code, for achieving a fade in/out transition between two images. It is coded is C, with critcl for speed, but the algorithm is very simple, a mixing of the pixels from two images returning in a third.
 package require Img
 package require critcl
 package provide alphablend 1.0

 critcl::config outdir .
 critcl::cheaders -I/usr/local/include
 critcl::ccode {
    #include <tcl.h>
    #include <tk.h>
 }

 ::critcl::ccommand blend_img { dummy ip objc objv } {
    Tk_PhotoHandle ph[3];
    Tk_PhotoImageBlock ib[3];
    Tcl_Obj *obj;
    int i,j,k,blend,pxsiz,pitch;
    unsigned char *p[3];

    if (objc != 5) {
        Tcl_WrongNumArgs(ip,1,objv,"img1 img2 img3 blend");
        return TCL_ERROR;
    }
    ph[0] = Tk_FindPhoto(ip,Tcl_GetString(objv[1]));
    ph[1] = Tk_FindPhoto(ip,Tcl_GetString(objv[2]));
    ph[2] = Tk_FindPhoto(ip,Tcl_GetString(objv[3]));
    Tcl_GetIntFromObj(ip,objv[4],&blend);
    Tk_PhotoGetImage(ph[0],ib);
    Tk_PhotoGetImage(ph[1],ib+1);
    Tk_PhotoGetImage(ph[2],ib+2);
    p[0] = ib[0].pixelPtr;
    p[1] = ib[1].pixelPtr;
    p[2] = ib[2].pixelPtr;
    pxsiz = ib[0].pixelSize;
    pitch = ib[0].pitch;
    for (i=0;i<ib[0].height;i++) {
        for (j=0;j<ib[0].width;j++) {
            *(p[2]+i*pitch+j*pxsiz) =
                (*(p[0]+i*pitch+j*pxsiz) * blend +
                *(p[1]+i*pitch+j*pxsiz) * (100-blend)) / 100;
            *(p[2]+i*pitch+j*pxsiz+1) =
                (*(p[0]+i*pitch+j*pxsiz+1) * blend +
                *(p[1]+i*pitch+j*pxsiz+1) * (100-blend)) / 100;

                (*(p[0]+i*pitch+j*pxsiz+2) * blend +
                *(p[1]+i*pitch+j*pxsiz+2) * (100-blend)) / 100;
        }
    }
    Tk_PhotoPutBlock(ph[2],ib+2,0,0,ib[0].width,ib[0].height,1);
    return TCL_OK;
 }
