I need to place logo between a white background and a person

I need to place logo between a white background and a person.

The are are some old clips on youtube which explains how to do this using the magic wand tool but I want to do this using the new 'Select the subject' (Ai?) tool. 

 

Can anybody give me  a set of instructions on how to do this?

 

thanks for your help,

 

Sorry, it's abit basic.

Correct answer Myra Ferguson

One way that you could make the logo appear between the person and the white background would be to create a layer mask on the logo that reveals the person:

  1. Open the image of the person on the white background.
  2. Place the logo (File > Place Embedded...)
  3. If the logo has a background, the in the Properties panel (Window > Properties) in the Quick actions section (you may need to expand the Properties panel down in order to see this section), click remove background.
  4. Temporarily turn off visibility of the logo layer (so that it doesn't become part of the selection later) by clicking on the eyeball to the left of its layer.
  5. Select the person layer in the Layers panel.
  6. With any of the selection tools selected, you'll see Select Subject in the Options bar (if it's not visible, go to Window > Options). Click Select Subject (you can use the dropdown menu to the right of Select Subject to select whether you want the selected created from the Device or the Cloud).
  7. While the marching ants (the active selection) showing, toggle the visibility of the logo layer back on by clicking again where the eyeball was, select the logo layer in the Layers panel, and go to Layer > Layer Mask > Hide Selection.

Place the logo between the white background and the person to ensure it stands out clearly. Adjust the positioning to maintain balance and ensure the logo is visible without overlapping key elements of the person or the background. Make sure to keep sufficient space around the logo for clarity.
