I have images, whose got very less content and have a lot of background, which is not required. Since the images has a lot of background, there are taking a lot of space. The structure of the document is image1, image2. Image1 is taking a lot of space (backgound), I want the image 2 to occupy the background space of image 1. This is the normal situation http://ctrlv.in/561984 This is intended http://ctrlv.in/561968
