How to ammend an image to a transparent background to place on picture.

I have a main picture and wish to place a figure on to the main picture.

I am using Elements.

I find when I ammend the figure image and remove the background in Elements the background is transparent.

When I save the figure and view it, the transparent area is filled with white.

How can I get a figure with a transparent back ground pasted on to the main picture?

Thanks for any help

Regards

John

Hi @johnhardy10,

As @BenPleysier said, this isn't a Dreamweaver question. It's a Photoshop question. Be sure to Save As PNG with alpha-transparency enabled. JPG does NOT support alpha-transparency.

In Photoshop CC, and presumably Elements too, transparent background is denoted by a checkerboard pattern. See screenshot.

Hope that helps. Post back if you need more help.
