You might want to try resizing the top image just a tad bit bigger than the blue box and place the image over the blue box then hold ctrl and click in the layer pallet of the blue box layer. You should see the marching ants around the box. Then goto Select>Inverse or Shft+Ctrl+I. Select the top layer the one with the people in it.Then all you have to do is erase everything around it and the top layer should be the exact same shape as the blue box.

I'd do it a different way, I'd use the blue pic to make a selection channel, then copy and paste it across. Wayne
