I'm no expert, but I gave it a transparent background.. not sure if that'll work or not.

Hey Cynthia,

Really glad you posted here for help and got the help you needed, thanks to RwmRS2. I just wanted to let you know about why it was transparent and how to fix that, for the future. The image from google is a JPG image (you can tell from the .jpg at the end of the URL), and JPG images cannot be transparent from what I know. To make them transparent, you can use an image editing program to "cut out" the render, or the person of the image.

A free, online, easy-to-use image editing program is http://pixlr.com/editor. To edit out the render and make the image transparent using pixlr, here is what you would do:

1. Open the image from URL (http://puu.sh/1wwkY/f8988b1ccb645a94e5d40b8809051009
2. Click on the magic wand tool (http://puu.sh/1wwm0/bdbd893b667a29809a04f5bc49132841), and then click on the white on the image
3. Right click, and click Invert Selection (http://puu.sh/1wwmm/3515691c952223a0c6f5be77e6cea0e6)
4. Now you have the person selected, you "cut" the person using Edit > Cut (http://puu.sh/1wwnu/53ce08fdbf3cb49b3f784727450e78b5)
5. After that we just do File > New image, check the Transparent, and make the size 150x304, the same as the original (http://puu.sh/1wwog/7779703eeae4f49426eac66b7fea23b4)
6. From here we just click edit > paste and save using File -> Save

It may seem like a complicated process at first but it becomes routine Hope I helped you for the future
