You might be doing the gradient thing right, but have you tried lowering the opacity and/or the fill of the layer? Lowering the opacity and/or fill level usually makes that layer sort of 'see-through' depending on how low you set it.

Here's an example of a picture before and after I tweaked the opacity and fill percentage:

Hope this helps (^_^)

This is an easy one. Open your picture/graphic in Photoshop, Create a "Layer via copy". Now create another layer over the picture and make a selection that is at least as big as your graphic. With the Gradient tool, create a gradient in this selection. Now just adjust the opacity of the gradient to your liking. When finished, flatten the image. That should do it.
