The easiest way to do this is with a layer mask, which you're probably using. Just in case, the way to do that is to pop open the Layers tab, right-click your work layer, and select "Add Layer Mask." Once you have a mask, select any option that's useful to you. If you want to physically alter the mask, as you may here, the best way to do that is to left-click the image of the mask in the Layers tab (should be to the right of the work layer). You may also want to right-click and "Show Layer Mask" when doing this. Once you have all that, you should be able to just color the mask gray and presto! Half alpha.
