Вот как вы наложите изображения с прозрачностью:
NSString* file1 = "your images file path";
NSRect largerect = NSRectMake(10,10,300,300);
NSString* file2 = "your images file path";
NSString* file3 = "your images file path";
NSString* file4 = "your images file path";
NSImage* img1 = [[NSImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:file1];
NSImage* img2 = [[NSImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:file1];
NSImage* img3 = [[NSImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:file1];
NSImage* img4 = [[NSImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:file1];
//the fraction parameter is just how transparent you want it so 1.0 is opaque and 0.0 you will not see the image
[image1 drawInRect: largeRect
fromRect: NSZeroRect
operation: NSCompositeSourceOver
fraction: 0.8];
[image2 drawInRect: largeRect
fromRect: NSZeroRect
operation: NSCompositeSourceOver
fraction: 0.6];
[image1 drawInRect: smallRect1
fromRect: NSZeroRect
operation: NSCompositeSourceOver
fraction: 0.40];
[image2 drawInRect: smallRect2
fromRect: NSZeroRect
operation: NSCompositeSourceOver
fraction: 0.40];
