I'm new to photoshop.
Let me describe what I'm trying to do. I'm working on an iMovie of a family vacation. I am trying to insert an image of the heads of my two cats that would appear to be floating in space as the movie proceeds behind their heads. This will make it look like the cats were in Iceland with us. (I do recognize that this sounds pretty lame as I'm typing it out).
I created a new project with a transparent background layer. I 'lassoed' the heads of each cat from separate photos. I put one head each on different layers so I had three layer. I saved as a psd. I saved as a jpeg, but the jpeg added a white background behind the cats. Not what I wanted.
I played around a little more. I even read some older posts here about this issue. I did the same steps, this time saving it as a gif. That worked.
However, iMovie didn't seem to like the gif file.
Am I missing something in the creation of the jpeg?
