Here's one way to do it if you're using FHMX. Place the main
picture and the

inlay picture on your FH page. Create a path of the shape you
are trying to

cut from the main picture and position it on the main picture
where you

want. Cut (command X in the edit menu) the inlay picture.
Select the path.

Use the paste inside command (edit menu) to paste the inlay
picture inside

the path. With that path selected, go to the properties panel
and delete the

stroke, then again in the properties panel select contents.
You'll see a

small star like symbol appear in the center of the path on
top of the inlay

picture. Click on that star and drag the inlay picture around
until you get

it positioned inside the path where you want. This technique
may take a bit

of getting use to if you've never used clipped paths before.
