vannahsa Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Hello all. I am new to Paint.net and needing some help in figuring something out. I use clippingmagic.com to remove backgrounds from images, then I save them as a JPEG. What I want to do is place the image onto a new background. I was able to do one yesterday (I attached a copy of what I managed to do, using 2 separate images) but I don't know what I did!! Can anyone help me with the steps on how to put an image on top of a new background and not have a black box around it? If I don't make any sense please let me know. Sorry for the tiny images. The one with the black box is what happens every time I try to replace the background. I don't know what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xod Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 If you removed the background behind the horse, you must save the result as a PNG. JPEG don't preserve transparency. In PDN image of horse must be in own transparent layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vannahsa Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 Ah, that was one issue. So what would the steps be after I saved it as a PNG? I honestly can't figure out what I did yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xod Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 1. Open background with PDN 2. Add a new layer 3. Open horse image. Now you have 2 images. 4. Select All (Ctrll+A) Copy (Ctrl+C) in horse image 5. Select background image and new layer 6. Paste (Ctrl+V) and Deselect (Ctrl+D) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
