  • Open both images in ...

    Open both images in Photoshop.

    Then open the image you want to use as the background. Then with that image still open, drag the second image from the bottom of the screen onto your main image. Then resize the image to fit.

    To preserve the transparent background, save the image as either .png or .gif

    If you save in other formats, the transparency will go away.
