was by bringing in my initial 'transparency' of Fred. I then used the paint brush and fat bits, mostly the paint brush with white selected, to eleminate both Fred and the background. I then brought in a second transparent Fred and set him in this spot aligning this one with the first.
This is the same technique I used with the 'Dali' Clock and the Macintosh sitting on the table.
