• now this step is optional, but does make the process a little easier and less confusing
• label the lower layer as "base" and the above layer as "glass"
• make the "base" layer invisible, then selected the "polygonal lasso" tool
• make sure you have the "glass" layer selected, using the "polygonal lasso" tool to select the non glass area and delete
• turn on the base layer to visible
• now double click on the "glass" layer or left click and select "blending style" on the pop up menu
• go to color "color overlay", make sure the box is checked, and select what color you would like to use for tinting
• edit the opacity to what ever your desired darkness is
