uh, i have two images, both 24 by 8. they are sved as two separete files (psd i believe). one has a white background, the other is full color. can i get the one in color layered behind the other one, with the white ones images layered above the color?

edit: i forgot, how do i change the dpi?


--BINGO! Either that, or I was attempting to say "before" but it was too many letters to type-- photoshop, i was big on paint ;D

Pixelhugger:
To change dpi go to IMAGE menu > Image Size and adjust dpi there.

To layer an image:

1) open image #1(which will be the BACKGROUND)
2) open image #2
3) from the LAYERS palette of image #2 drag its layer(s) onto the open image #1 canvas. If you hold shift while doing this it will automatically place the image in #1 relative to where it was in #2.
4) image #1's layers palette will now contain it's original layer(s) and whatever you dragged over on top.
5) to delete the white (if I'm understanding you correctly) click on it with the MAGIC WAND selection tool and hit delete. Depending on the complexities of your image this may result in jagginess along the edge where the white was deleted. You can also use the eraser tool to remove the white more precisely.

Does this help/make sense?

mahuti:
To change the DPI you go to image > image size >  then adjust the DPI at will. Upresing won't get you better quality, though.

As far as layering, you have to use the layer pallette. If you don't want to see the white background on the other one, you will need to remove it by hand using eraser, or remove it with a selection created by using the marquee tool or magic wand tool, or by select > color range and choosing white. If first piece is the "background" and Photoshop won't let you move files below it,  just duplicate the background into a new layer... then you can change its layer order at will.

ah, thank you very much. i miss the learning curve of paint :'(

jakejake28:
hey is there any other way to trace the foreground images than using the eraser. with hi res images, it's taking me a helluva time to get almost decent results. i want good results, with easier to work than that damn eraser.
