Hello

I have a normal colour JPG image and wish to place another image with a transparent background over it (or over part of it). My transparent image shows the chequered grey and white background when I open it up in Photoshop, but when I try to place it over the JPG image using the Move tool it shows it as having a white background which covers the JPG image underneath it.

The transparent image is a PNG file.When it is over the JPG image, I can use Transform | Scale it, but not able to remove the white background. What should I be doing, please?

Yep. The butterfly background is not transparent. You can see from the thumbnail that the rectangle covers the chequerboard.

So I need to ensure it is transparent properly before doing anything? Which is the best way to do that - any recommendations? I used the Magic Wand

Here we go. Lake is a JPG and butterfly a PNG. Thanks for your reply.

Could you show your entire screen with the layers panel expanded. As of right now it looks like the butterfly is a screen capture of your original image.
