Default alpha channel

Hi all,

I saved my lw render as a .TGA with an alpha channel. When I import it into photoshop I want to take the image and overlay it over the background. The problem is I'm having trouble getting the black background to become transparent. At the moment I have been using select/color range to get rid of the background but that leaves a lot to be desired. Does anyone know what method I can use to use the alpha channel to cause that background to dissapear so it doesn't mask the background objects?

Thanks,
Libraryguy
