Default Photoshop peeps?

Can someone help me

I'm trying to make a sig and I've pasted a pic of my bike onto my sig but it's opaque and you can see the background through it

The opacity of the bike pic is 100% and I can't figure out why it's see through

Thanks in advance

Switch it to 100 % and swap the layers round ?

Or save the .psd file and mail it over so I can see what your doing and understand it to save me guessing

Swapping the layer over has sorted it but now the picture of the bike has a white background and I can't see my background

I hate this fookin' program

I don't suppose someone can take this picture that CosRush kindly cut out for me and make the white background clear?



Thanks for the help

Transparent backgrounds need to be saved as a .gif file



Copy it by right clicking it and saving as a .gif file

Open up 2 pictures.

For the bike - resize then "select all" then "copy"

Switch to your sig pic then select "paste" then use the move tool to move it where you want it
