Help PLEASE

[jmayo]

OMG, I think I am going to loose my mind.
I am trying to do a sig, I have the background done (*.jpg) I have a picture I would like to blend into the background, BUT I can't seem to get the blasted thing in. I have looked at (quite literally) HUNDREDS of sig tutorials, some tell me to select the overlay pic and drag to the BG, all I get from this is the ant line box, no pic.
what in blazes am I missing/doing wrong?
please help, I now have a HUGE bruise on my forhead and an equally huge dent in my desk.

Thanx

On the image you want to overlay on the background, Select all (CTRL+A), then press CTRL+V on the background to paste it as a new layer. Sorry if this is too simplistic but I'm not sure I'm reading the question correctly :)

It may help if you post the images up on here.

To drag between two images make certain they are both in the same color mode... Image > Mode from the menu. If you've got a gif in index mode you won't be able to drag it to an RGB document.

Thank you for the help, I will try tonight when I get home and let you know

OK, here is the update.
what every tutorial failed to mention was to use the BLOODY MOVE TOOL.
once I figured that one out it was SMOOTH sailing.
Thank you guys for setting me in the right direction.
I will start using the sig as soon as I get it totaly finished.

i dont think you can use sig's here, jmayo :( just the text at the bottom

uhmm.. true. Image signatures aren't permitted. They tend to do more to get in the way than anything else.

Sorry.
