Photoshop Help....Me Suck
Hello Everyone. I have a question about blending two images. Basically, I want to insert a picture over another. However, the picture I want on top always has that annoying white canvas. I just want the image to show. I just can't seem to get rid of the white canvas - you know, that white rectangular box. Can anyone post a step-by-step means of blending the two pictures. Your help would be awesome. Thanks.

copy paste what you want into a new doc then with background set as 'transparent'

Cheesy quick and easy method:
Select top layer with unwanted white
In layer style or options
Blend if GRAY this layer:
Drag bar from 255 to 254.
ALL white turns transparent.
Command is available in all versions of PS, but in various ways to access.
Cheesy, because jaggies occur at anti-aliased (blurred/soft) edges, and the inner 255 pixels drop out as well.
Me, I usually use select outer white area with anti-aliased at 0% contiguous and hit auto mask. Touch up on mask layer in channels as need be. (Don't cha love silo'ing wispy hair?)
In either case, the original image remains unaltered.
