Photoshop Layers

---

We will begin with two photos. One is called sky1.jpg and the other is charlie_bluescreen.jpg.

We will select out the blue screen from the Charlie photo and erase it. See below where we use the select by color range method

...

We use the eye dropper tool in the color range dialog box to select the blue screen...

We then erase it by the delete key. It is now erased and looks white there below...

We are going to select the entire Charlie photo and copy it and then paste it into the sky1.jpg, as a new layer.

If you look over at the right side and the Layers Panel, you will see the pasted image is called layer 1 and the original is called background.

If when you paste charlie into the sky the "blue screen" now white remains white select it again with the magic wand tool and delete the white. This happens when the original photo has a background that is a solid color under all(white, green, instead of transparent as some photos are..

That is all there is to it.
