Hi! 

This looks like you would want to use it as a mask or overlay it with a Screen Blending mode! 

Here it is as a Screen Blend mode over a Red background:

Notice the Black layer is set to Screen, so the black disappears and all you see is the White.

 

And Here it is with the black and white image used as a mask:

In the above image, I selected the black and white layer, with everything else turned off, and went into the chanels panel and loaded the values by Command-clicking on the icon (in the channels panel, all the images are in black and white--select the image that has the most contrast). With that loaded as a selection, I went back to the layers panel, and with the flower layer selected, I clicked on the Layer Mask icon at the bottom of the Layers panel. For a more dramatic effect, I selected the mask and opened levels and moved the left slider over to the right to make the type brighter.

 

Those are two options you can use for this image! Let us know if you have any questions!

Hi

Double click on the Edit Content smart object layer, it will open in a new window, from there you can add whatever image you want, close the window and select yes to save your changes

Can you open file and take screenshot with Layers panel expanded and visible? There is probably layer - edit this - or similar.
