All,

First of all my apologies as I have not searched this site or the web Is there any way in Lightroom only to merge photos together? I want to add 2 people to a group shot- Do I need to use photoshop?

Any advice appreciated

Much easier with photoshop. Will still be a little difficult unless they were all shot with the same background and same lighting.

Search you tube for videos about compositing.

This will include selecting, pasting as well as adjusting WB and lighting.

Just be weary of out proportion (scale) and 'psccifo'*

No to your first question and Yes to your second question.

This is in the realm of layers, layer masks, creating and refining selections and intermediate level knowledge and skill - in Photoshop, On1, Corel Paint Shop Pro or similar.

These two sites will answer a lot of your questions:

Don't apologize. Searching for that would have been a waste of time.
