In Editor, go to the expert tab.

  1. Open picture B, the one you wish to select something from to add to another picture.
  2. Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
  3. Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
  4. Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
  5. Use the move tool to position object from picture B.
  6. In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and object B on a separate layer.

I used the below instructions, it worked.  However, when I paste the cropped field into picture B there is a white background.  How do I get rid of the white background.Thank you

Refer to step #4.

After you have pasted the selection, it should be on a separate layer. The replacement-face selection should be visible surrounded by a checkerboard pattern, which denotes transparency.

"However, when I paste the cropped field into picture B there is a white background."

The directions do not reference cropping. If you are using the crop tool, abandon it. Use the selection brush or the marquee tool to make the selection.of the face, only the face and not part of the background.
