Question
Iam a keen user of photoshop 7. I enjoying cutting an image of a person using the lasso tool and pasting it onto another image. However on doing so, the colour of the first and second image do not match, which clearly gives an impression that the new image is edited. How can I correct the colours of such an image using the appropriate tool? I usually go to image>apply image or image>adjustments>equalize.Is that the correct way? Also when I cut the first image and paste it onto another, the edges of the first and second image do not match, which clearly gives an impression that the new image is a fake. How do I correct the edges?

image>apply image or
image>adjustments>equalize
was right, try this:
A) but before pasting the image
when you select lasso tool>feather 10pix to 20pix
>use the selection tool to drag the into the first image.
This will make the edges of second image blending into first image.

B) Also you can use
Image
>Adjustments
>Color Balance
>Move the slider to adjust your color
