Hello iTony,
Tomas is quite correct. Once the background is removed it becomes transparent.
PhD has no ability to generate a simple white background, but you can import one to assemble your image.
When you save your edited photo (with background removed) it will be available in Photo Composer, where you can assemble your final image.
Here is an image guide showing the basic steps.

Thanks guys... just how to get a white base, take a picture of a white piece of paper/board, and import the image?
Hi iTony
As the old saying goes there is more than one way to skin a cat, the same is true with Photodirector. The ways that tomasc , and Pix have suggested are ways to achieve what you want to achieve as is your own suggestion. There are other ways. I will offer two.
Import your photo
Click layers
Duplicate layer
Add empty layer
With empty layer selected, select rectangular shape tool. Make sure the colour selected is white. Draw the tool over the empty layer, you now have a white layer.
Place the white layer below the duplicate photo layer, the white will show in place of removed background.
Second suggestion
Open your search engine, I use Google
Type in white hd photo background hit enter
A list of web sites will open, you can use any of these to source your white background.
I prefer to click on the images tab, this will open up a large database of screenshots
If you hover your cursor over the screenshot it will give you information about size etc etc
When you have selected the one you want, right click on the image select "save picture as"
Give the file an appropriate name e.g. white background 16x9 or whatever size you have selected
Save to your preferred location
The white background is now available to use in Photodirector
I hope you will find one of these ways useful. I find that using Google you can access a vast supply of photo backgrounds.
Regards
Sean
