Question
Hi, first thanks for your time.  I want to "cut" a section from one photo to another so that it looks "real".  I need detailed instructions...new to computers.
Thanks again for your time.

Answer
Randy, this is really just a matter of selecting the object properly. There are a lot of tools to help you accomplish this - like the Magic Wand. It's kind of hard to explain in text. It's easier to see it in action. I would recommend my Photoshop 101 tutorial:

P.P.S. I volunteer my time at AllExperts to help people, and I get a LOT of questions, so I can't take an hour to answer each question. If you need more DETAILED HELP, come to my TechHelp web site at http://www.599cd.com/TechHelp/AllExperts and I'll take as much time as you need to answer your question.

I use voice dictation software to "type" a lot of my answers here on AllExperts, so I apologize if some of my words are wrong (like "two" instead of "to" or "too") or my capitalization and punctuation isn't perfect. I try to edit any mistakes I notice, but they do sometimes slip by. Thanks for understanding.

Expertise

I can answer any and all questions regarding Adobe Photoshop. If you need help with layers, masks, channels, paths, fixing photos, drawing by hand, or even filters, feel free to ask me.

Experience

I have been teaching Photoshop in the classroom and online for almost a decade. I currently teach online at http://www.PhotoshopLearningZone.com

Education/Credentials
I am completely self-taught with Photoshop - which I believe is the best way to learn. A good book, tutorials, and experts (such as those here at AllExperts) to ask question of is the best way to understand a subject. I have been an Expert here at AllExperts in several other catgeories (MS Word, Excel, Windows, etc.) for a long time.
