How do I import a face I lassoed in photoshop? When I do, it comes with the white box around it. This makes it impossible to place onto a scene because it always has a white box.

I'm not familiar with Photoshop, I use Paintshop Pro myself, but here's a fix that should work for you.

Save your lassoed face as a GIF file.

Reopen it so you can see the white space and fill it with a solid color that isn't used anywhere else in the picture (pure GREEN or MAGENTA are usually good choices).

Save it again.

Load the picture into GIFFY( Freeware utility, download it here: ). Set the background color as transparent and save it again.

Now load it into Publisher...the background should now be transparent. Set your text wrapping in Publisher to ignore the transparent area if needed.
