I tried all kinds of variants on this approach and got nowhere. However, more by good luck than good management, I seem to have found a way. I opened a new blank image and declared it to be fully transparent using CMYK. Then using the magic wand, I selected that portion of the logo image I want visible from within the source image and copied it into the clipboard. Then in the new target image, I pasted the desired logo image from the clipboard. Voila! The new logo image has a transparent background, just as I wanted.
I then saved the new logo image in that format, opened up my new target CD label graphic, selected all of the new logo image and copied it into the clipboard. Then pasted the new logo image over the CD label graphic, and it dropped into place perfectly.
Wow, you went the long way around.
For starters, if the original logo is RGB, there is no need to create a new document in CMYK mode in order to get transparency.
In fact, there is no need to make any new documents at all. In fact, you don’t even need to do copy/paste.
Instead, select the logo in the first image. When it is selected, choose the Move tool and just drag it into the second image.
