Compositing



Asked a couple of guys at work today about how they would get around the following problem:
  1. I select a figure from a picture with a blank background (or a background of just one colour.
  2. I paste that figure onto another picture with a different coloured background.
  3. Since the figure is anti-aliased, a horrible outline appears around them.

They both offered some advice, involving feathering and drawing onto a layered transparent background. Both of them are using rather more expensive software than my current drawing package, and so it may be a matter of upgrading to a package with more features.

There are probably tutorials about this on the internet, but finding them is another matter.
