2. Fill the background of the image with black color.
3. Insert all the images you want in your map and edit it to your liking.
4. Flatten the image, i.e. merge all the layers
5. Go to “Channels” and create an alpha channel, you will find the create new channel icon to be third icon in the bottom icon bar.
6. Anything you want visible will be totally white in the alpha channel, anything you want hidden will be black. So, basically you want everything you inserted to be white in the alpha channel and background to be black.
7. Easiest way to do this is use the Magic Wand and select all the black on your picture then invert your selection and go to the alpha channel and just paint all your new selection white.
