Basic Photoshop question
    #7554269 - 10/24/07 09:43 AM (16 years, 3 months ago)

Ok, say you have two images and you would like to superimpose one onto the other without getting any of the surrounding area along with the image you are superimposing. The surrounding area is completely white. I seem to remember somehow using the lasso tool where it would take the exact shape of the image you had inside it...but it's not working out like that. Worse comes to worse I can redraw the image in the background where the white is, but I don't want to have to do that. Can anyone explain this? Thanks in advance.

It'd be easier to see the two images you want but... I think this is what you would generally want to do:

Put the original image in a layer, then the image you want to superimpose on a seperate layer ABOVE the other one. Click on the layer that you want to take the white out of (I'm assuming the top layer). Take the "magic wand tool" and set it to a number like... 12 (up top). Or just leave the number as is. That will select all of the white area when you click on it. The number above determines how "crisp" the selection of the white will be. After you have it selected, then hit the delete button. Then hit CTRL+D to deselect it. Hopefully that will generally be what you want. You can also mess around with the blending modes (above the layers) to have some cool effects.

Hope this helped!

Thank for the response man. This is good to know for future reference...but I ended up just carefully outlining it with the lasso after blowing it up. It ended up working out so you couldn't see any white. I knew the answer was in the layers...but I would have never figured out what you told me. Maybe it was another program back in the day but I remember a lasso that would select just a figure if it had an outline of its own. I appreciate the help.

Also, after your doing that, you can take a small soft brush around the edges and erase off the jaggies. Makes it look way cleaner.

You needed the "Magic Wand Tool"....
It is the icon that kinda~ looks like a microphone next to the lasso tool (at least on version 6)....
