image in white rectangle

[Andrew]

oh, perhaps I didn't explain myself well.
Say I'm importing an image of a person standing in full figure against 
a white background.  When this image is in front of another larger 
image, you can see the white background behind the person.  I just want 
to make the white background behind the person invisible so it just 
looks like the person is standing in front of the other picture.

Thanks!
