Hello, I have the following transparent light beam image and I'm trying to blend into another image but the transparent background is still visable. How do I edit to only see the light beam? I've tried all blending modes!

Hi

What you're trying to download is a vector illustration with an .ai extension which is for Adobe Illustrator

When you purchase the image you should have access to a version without the »Adobe Stock« logo embedded. 

Please post a screenshot of that.

Did you download it in jpeg format? If so, jpeg does not support transparency - so the checkerboard is built into the image. Check if a PNG, TIFF or PSD download is available

As Semaphoric says, you have to download it in one of those formats. Jpeg does not support transparency and changing a jpeg to another format later does not bring that transparency back. It looks like you might have downloaded the preview image rather than the stock file.
