I am using Photoshop CS2 and Image Ready CS2. I have my signature scanned into a JPG file, and I have a form that requires my signature also in JPG format. I want to be able to paste the image of my signature into this form, but I don't want it to erase anything in the backround, that being the actual signature line on the form. I can't quite figure out how to do this using Photoshop. Any help would be appreciated.

I figured it out. Opened Form image, set it as background. Then opened scanned signature in another window. Lasso'd the signature, set feather to 25, then copied it CNTRL-C. Back into Form window, paste the signature CNTRL-V. Copied signature is now Layer 2. CNTRL-T, then shift to adust signature over the signature line on the form. Then slected Layer 2, and choose "Darken" instead of Normal. And viola! Signature is on top of the signature line with signature line behind it clearly visible.
