Hi! I am doing an art course. I have painted quick portraits that I want to see with different backgrounds. I have scanned a portrait, and I can delete the (white) background so I get a checkered one and put it in a paint.net file. I can put the background (a) say in another file. I can't merge the two together.
To practise, I have opened an image (pear) from the net, deleted the white background around the pear, and tried to copy and paste that in my background. What I get is the pear with the white around it on top of my background. Not what I was expecting.
I have looked for tutorials, but can't find one that I understand (stupid me) or that works. I have not worked with layers before, except cakes!
Please can you help, as I am fed up with banging my head on the wall? Thank you, thank you, thank you!
