Importing Image on top of background

-----------------------------------

How would I import image (of mountains) on top of a blue sky background (drawn using a drawline then drawfill)
I'm not sure how i would do it so that the white background of a jpg isnt there and it's just the mountains.

Assuming you're using Turing and not Java, look up Pic.Merge().

Oh, my bad. Look up the different modes under Pic.Draw. You'll want Pic.SetTransparentColor as well. 

A word of warning- compressed images are not your friend here. If you try it, you'll very quickly realize why. Stick to bitmaps.

Thanks, I get it now. That's alot of help. 

One other thing. 

%import image of background window and wall
picWindowandWallBackground:=Pic.FileNew("WindowAndWallBackground.jpg")
Pic.Draw (picWindowandWallBackground, 1,1,picCopy)
%mountain background
picMountainBackground:=Pic.FileNew("MountainsBackground.jpg")
Pic.Draw(picWindowandWallBackground, 200,350,picMerge)

I'm trying to import two different pics, but it ends up only importing the first one twice. Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
