[Tex/LaTex] Figure inset in right bottom corner – non transparent

floatsgraphicspositioning

I have 2 pdf images: 1.pdf and 2.pdf.
Now I would like to have 2.pdf as an inset (in the right bottom corner) in the Figure 1.pdf.

My question is almost similar to this ; however I only want 1 image with 1 inset figure.

Furthermore, when I tried to alter some of the TeX code, I obtained a transparent figure inset of 2.pdf in the image 1.pdf, and I don't want this.

It would even be fine if there would be a white box around the inset of 2.pdf.

Can someone please help me?

There are two issues, it would appear from the OP's comments: 1) insetting an image, and 2) eliminating/masking the transparancy of the inset. I will address the issues in turn:

IMAGE INSET

Here I give two examples using \stackinset. The first flush to the bottom right corner, and the second with some border. I use \includegraphics for the images, but tikz code or similar things can go in their place.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{stackengine,graphicx}
\begin{document}
\noindent\stackinset{r}{}{b}{}{\includegraphics[width=2in]{example-image-A}}
  {\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{example-image-B}}\medskip

\noindent\stackinset{r}{15pt}{b}{25pt}{\includegraphics[width=2in]{example-image-A}}
  {\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{example-image-B}}
\end{document}

Here's a version with a white border:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{stackengine,graphicx,xcolor}
\begin{document}
\fboxrule=5pt\relax
\fboxsep=0pt\relax
\noindent\stackinset{r}{}{b}{}
  {\color{white}\fbox{\includegraphics[width=2in]{example-image-A}}}
  {\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{example-image-B}}\medskip
\end{document}

MASKING INSET TRANSPARANCY

To deal with a transparent inset image-A, place it on a white \colorbox:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{stackengine,graphicx,xcolor}
\begin{document}
\fboxrule=5pt\relax
\fboxsep=0pt\relax
\noindent\stackinset{r}{}{b}{}
  {\colorbox{white}{\includegraphics[width=2in]{example-image-A}}}
  {\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{example-image-B}}\medskip
\end{document}

You don't need sidecap!. What you need is two minipages:

\documentclass{article}    
\usepackage{mwe} %% for this example only
\usepackage{wrapfig}
% \usepackage{sidecap}


\begin{document}

\begin{wrapfigure}{r}{4.5cm}
    \begin{minipage}{2cm}
    %\begin{SCfigure}
      \centering
        \includegraphics[width=1.5cm]{example-image}
    \end{minipage}%
    \begin{minipage}{2cm}
      \caption{Example side caption text for example image}
%  \end{SCfigure}
    \end{minipage}
\end{wrapfigure}

\lipsum[2]

\end{document}

You can adjust the bad boxes by adjusting the width of second minipage in your actual file.

You have to place the wrapfigure code snippet at appropriate place in your code so that it appears at upper right corner and try not to float it.

Floats – How to Place an Image Inside Another Image in LaTeX

If you know the dimensions of the images, then you can easily do this with a raised overlap.

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}% http://ctan.org/pkg/graphicx
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \setbox1=\hbox{\includegraphics[height=2cm]{example-image-b}}
  \includegraphics[height=2cm]{example-image-a}\llap{\includegraphics[height=1cm]{example-image-c}}
  \includegraphics[height=2cm]{example-image-a}\llap{\raisebox{1cm}{\includegraphics[height=1cm]{example-image-c}}} \\
  \includegraphics[height=2cm]{example-image-b}\llap{\makebox[\wd1][l]{\includegraphics[height=1cm]{example-image-c}}}
  \includegraphics[height=2cm]{example-image-b}\llap{\makebox[\wd1][l]{\raisebox{1cm}{\includegraphics[height=1cm]{example-image-c}}}}
  \caption{My caption.}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

I've used the example images from the mwe package, and knowing that the heights will be 1cm, raising by 1cm will fill the 2cm of the original image. However, if you don't know the heights, one can always box the contents and extract the height, as I did with \setbox1=\hbox{...} and using \wd1 (width of box 1). There might be better ways of doing this.
