Adobe Bridge problem layers problem

[mamapop]

I have an image i created that has no background on it when im using it in photoshop. But when i try to add this image to another one using the add files to layers option in adobe bridge the image with no background now has a white background. How can i fix this or work around this? I dont want to have to remove the white background over and over again.

im using CS5. Thanks for the help!

What format is the image?
If you remove the background of an image you can't save it as a JPG, it should be saved as a png, tif, psd, or (a poor choice) gif.
If you save it as a jpg you will get a white background when you re-open the file.

i tried saving as a png. it also did not work

notice how in image2 there is no background, but in image1 there is a background

image2 is inside photoshop
image1 is inside Bridge.

how do i fix this?

Oh, actually I think that's normal.
I really not sure, but I don't think Bridge can preview a transparent background.

so is there another way to load images into to layers in photoshop with ought using bridge so i can avoid this problem.

When you remove the background, what format are you saving it to??
I have files with transparent backgrounds that display incorrectly as a white background in Bridge but when opened in PS display correctly.

Have you actually tried loading this problem file and see it the background is transparent in PS?

Where is the

the add files to layers option in adobe bridge

option located, I can't find it.

Jusr open both images in PS and use the move tool to drag one onto the other.

i figured it out. i didnt realize i could just drag and drop layers across tabs.

-Thanks anyways
