This doesn't use ArrayPlot, but works for 2D image arrays. Given two images,
for example,


img1 = Import[
  "http://www.ee.usm.maine.edu/courses/ele489/data/cameraman.tif"; ] ;

img2 = Import[
  "http://www.ee.usm.maine.edu/courses/ele489/data/face.tif"; ] ;


then this gives the desired result


Show[{img1, Graphics[{Opacity[0.5], img2[[1]]}] }]
