Adding background to extracted person...

Hi,

I have extracted a person from a photo using filter/extract and then highlighting using the marker pen and created an extracted image file on LAYER 0. I then try to open the photo I want to use as background. When I open the file browser and drag the background file onto my extracted document it simply opens a new window for that file. I'm expecting the background to appear over my extracted image on its own layer but it doesn't.

Can anyone help me.

Thanks.

After you open the image you want moved to your other file - select your Marquee tool (upper left icon on your tools window), and select the whole image or the area you want moved. Then you can either copy/paste or click your Move tool from your tools window (upper right icon) and drag your selection to the other file.
