I need to create some images and use this images with dreamweaver and interact with this images with mouse click.

Some image are superimposed to another. For some reason if I click the image that is over another the one that is under reacts the mouse click.

Is it possible with Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator, for example, to cut out the image in a form that is not square or rectangular but irregular form?  This would solve my problem

Thanks.

    I solved the problem in another way.

    I wrote, in html code in this logic (for my purpose) sequence:

    Image 1)

    Image 2)

    Image 3)

    Image 4)

    Image 5)

    The images are partialy one over another in the o previous order and

    because of transparency I could not see that 3 was upon 2 and 5 was upon 4.

    I need to click, for exemple, 2 and 4 without effect over 3 and 5

    so the solution is to put the images in another order (in html language):

    Image 1)

    Image 3)

    Image 5)

    Image 2)

    Image 4)

    And this work perfecly.

    Thank you again.

    I don't understand what you mean by superimposed images.

    On the web, all images are boxes.  All CSS divisions are boxes.

    If you need transparency, place image on a transparent background layer denoted by the checkerboard pattern.

    File > Export  > Export As PNG with transparency.   See screenshot.

    Thankyou both Nancy and JJMac

    Let say that at my step if I click over the wings of the butterfly the of Nancy's image reacts to the mouse click. In some way I need to cut of the form fo the butterfly frome the Nancy's image and have no part of Nanci's image under mine image.

    But I suppose, because of reply of Nancys (box image), I can't do this.

    Thanks again.

    Its hard to understand what you are trying to do.  When you post an image post all of Photoshop UI including the Layers Palette so we can get a better idea of how you creating your composite.
