Yes, I know there are tutorials. Those aren't helping.
I need some layering help, I'll explain with a few pictures: Let's say I wanted to take this picture... 
And then I wanted to put this logo on top of it... 
This logo has a white background, and if I put it on the other picture the white background will be showing. I just want to put the actual logo, and not the white background unto the picture. This may seem like a noob question, but I'm a noob at Adobe Photoshop. 
I have other questions, but I'm taking it one step at a time. Please, help.  | |

Well, photoshop has this really cool tool called a Magic Wand. Use that and clock the white background area. It should automatically select all that white space. Then you just hit delete, deselect, and drag the rest in. 
BTW, we have an art area. PM me if you need more help.

Moved to Graphic Discussion.
The way i'd do it is, use the eraser with a + next to it, click the white, then drag the image to the MegaMan image.

Maybe I'm just hopeless. I can't even find delete. All I want to do is make decent backgrounds, and banners for songs. Even if it's simple, I need a full explanation. Curse me.  | |

What version of Photoshop do you use?
(Elaborating from above)....
First you need to right click the background layer, and say duplicate layer. Click yes to all and then delete the background layer.
Just hold down the eraser tool to bring up the opitions for that tool, then select the BG eraser tool and click the white area of the image. It will turn into a checkerboard type. That means it's transparent.
Have both images open, drag and drop the logo onto the game pic.
If the logo is too big, resize it b4 dragging and dropping.

Okay, thanks Banya. I got it, but how come on some pictures it started erasing everything not just the background? And also, why do the layers lock sometimes? | |

For Example...
If you click on white next to red, it'll erase the white only.
If you erase white next to pink, it'll erase part of the pink because pink is really red + white.
Get it?
Good.  | |

Can you explain this?: I typed up some text in adobe. It was blue. I cut it and went to place it on another picture, and it appeared all weird. It was flashing black and white, and after I clicked to finalize the process it turned grey, not blue. | |

I figured that out, but what does it mean when it says "Convert image to RGB color mode to edit?" How do I convert it to RGB color mode??? | |

Have the image selected.. IMAGE ---> MODE ---> RGB color.
Next time try the readme, or even "([""" G O O G L E """])" | |
