how to do this in PS?

Please take a look at releasetravel.co.uk ...
notice the 'mission statement' has a white background.
how can i replace the white in this background with a picture?
i have the original white background in psd?

thanks

 

Pretty simple I think. Unless I understand something wrong, just open the file in Photoshop, and paste whatever picture you want directly over the white background...

 

no that wont work. The white background isn't a square image ... it has jagged edges.

 

Put your image in a new layer above the white background, and then Alt+left click on the same time on the border between the two layers.

 

Thanks Wab ... worked great

 

you're welcome
