I’m using CS3 and I’m applying a feathered edge to a photo using the refine edges command. The only thing I can’t for the life of me figure out, is how to get the now white border to be transparent, so that when it’s placed into my InDesign document (overlayed onto another photo) the underlaying photo isn’t blocked by the white box. Sorry for the probably very basic use question, but any help would be appreciated…

Make the background layer a normal layer (rename it) and delete the white part that you want to be transparent.

Edit: You need to save it as a .PSD

There are also options in ID for placement of images concerning transparency.
