How do I put in image in a lasso border without it going outside the border?

[BitPika]

I'm trying to put a transparent picture over a picture and I already have the lasso made but whenever I try it just goes over it. I tried doing this on background and on Layer 1.

Hello @BitPika and welcome  

 

First of all, your picture (smiley) is not on a transparent background.  You need to remove the white background via:

 

1. Select the white part with the magic wand and press delete.  Use AA's Assistant to clean up the edges.

 

2. Do you want the smiley to fit into the area you lassoed? If so, just drag the nubs around the smiley (use rectangle select first) and then decrease the size to fit.

The smiley faced image was just a random image I used for context. So basically do you want me to manually conform the smiley face? I was thinking of the smiley face only showing in the lasso part kind of like when you have an erased section and you put an image on the layer below it.

With the selection active press Delete on the keyboard.

This will erase the selected pixels.
Put the smiley or whatever on a layer below.

  And then delete on the background layer.

I want to keep the man's face. Basically I'll have the smiley face's opacity lowered so you can see both images.

Duplicate the background layer.

With the selection active press Delete on the keyboard.

This will erase the selected pixels on the top layer.

Put the smiley or whatever on a layer between top and background layer.

Adjust opacity.
