Help with putting a logo on top of a photo as a web pageheading

[Jay Patton]

I am new to this and stuck with what i imagine is a simple problem. I need to
replace a former name with a new one on a website. The old logo has also been
changed. The page headings have been changed also.

I have a logo scanned as a jpg but can re-sacn it if need be. I need to take
a photo, crop it to fit the alloted available sapce, and somehow combine it
with the logo on top of it, with a transaprent background so that bi can see
the photo underneath.

But, the logo has a white background and I cannot get it to be transparent.


Re the section titles I need to put in new ones as some terms have changed. I
can remove the existing ones but don't know how to get them inserted back into
the webpage with edit in contribute.

I am trying Contribute as I thought Dreamweaver might be too complicated for
me. However, I also own MS Publisher and the usual MS Office XP office suite.
In Publisher I can make transparent effects over text sections, which has the
logo but not its background showing, but it won't work with putting it on top
of a photo.

And, I cannot get the section headings to insert into the page i am editing
with Contribute. Please help if you can. thank you.

First:
1. get hold of a Photoshop-like program that can work with layers (Photoshop
Elements, The Gimp, etc.)
2. Open your logo.jpg and use the magic-staff to select the background
3. delete the background
4. import the photo you want to use for the background (or open it in your
pohot-program, select all and copy to your logo.jpg)
5. your photo becomes the background layer and your logo the layer on top of
it.
6. save your original file with the layers as a f.i. psd file

Second:
1. in you browser select the image you want to replace
2. use your right mouse-button to see the properties (height, width, path and
name)
3. now open your logo.psd
4. adjust the file to fit the image it has to replace (height and with), you
probably have to crop the image
5. save your file and export you new logo.jpg, but give it the name of the
image it has to replace

Third:
1. open Contribute
2. Click File, Publish file from my computer
3. Publish the file (make sure you have 'delete'rights on the website to be
able to overwrite the old file)
4. find the folder the image that has to be replaced is in
5. publish you new image to that folder
6. Contribute asks you if you want to overwrite the old file, and you want that
7. The image has been replaced
