I have found anytime I need how to do things like that I go to youtube and say "show how to add a photo to a picture in Photoshop 18. (or whatever program you use), then I follow the video step by step.

Can you post both photographs so we can see what you are trying to combine?

It's actually easier to do than it is to try to explain it to someone who may not be familiar with the PS tools...like, what's a free transform tool, or use a hard black brush to mask it out, or use the move tool and drag it over?? For starters, are you familiar with these terms?

Search for "add person group photoshop" and watch away.

Photomerge in PS Elements (and PS?). Use guided edit.

All, I cannot thank each and everyone of you for your reply to me!
I will address each one that replied with at least an acknowledgement and thanks for your suggestion.

Over the Christmas Week, I came gown with Type A Flu, nasty stuff and the fevers were rather high too.
After going to an emergency immediacare the Dr. gave me some high powered antibiotics ($10.00 a pill x 10 pills! TWICE).

Then last Tuesday AM when I was getting out of bed, the room started spinning in every possible compas direction there was.

Off to the Hospital Emergency Room I go!!
The Dr. there gave me again, some strong antibiotics and stomach sickness through the IV they set-up in my hand, along with two pills for the dizziness. After about 3 hours I was settled enough to return home to my warm bed!

All-in-all, I have not been able to read your messages!
Thanks to all again, you've proven to be great helpers, and friends as several of you offering to work on the photos for me.

However, I really need to learn how to make the two into one with the added photo to be behind the family.

Thanks again !!

EWforbess: Sorry I did not tell this in the "help" wanted.... I have PS CS6 Extended.

Thanks for your asking... should have told this up front!

Yes, rgenaderphoto, I do have PS CS6 and I do somewhat understand layers and masking.

But there has to be more than just understanding.
What does it take to place the attached photo to the backside of he original photo. This is where I cannot seem to understand.

Thanks again for your reply too!

frankraney, yes, this is what I am picking up from most of the UHH's telling me.
But, to watch a "how to" what would one (me) ask in the search to get a clip that would give me the instructions.
Also, I've found and I bet you as well, when the instructor is telling you what to do, somewhere along the way, your screen does not look like the instructors. I'm guessing there was a step that he just took for granted and did it without telling what it was..??

Thanks again!

Rongnongno, Thank you for your information! Because of the illness lately I have not had a chance to look at the link, however, be assured I will!
I follow you and the postings with great care and admiration.

Thanks for the link to the post and I will look at it today! (1-11-18)

GBrown, thanks for your reply and the information as well. As, as I've said earlier I do have PS CS6, that I am NOT that experienced with yet.
Although, I did not try the cut and past as you suggest, I used the move tool instead. This may be one of my problems!

Thanks for the information/reminder and yes, I agree, "it's easy to do, just getting it right"
Dave

SqBear Loc: Kansas, (South Central)

bdk, thanks for your reply and information. As I stated earlier, I've been really under the weather and have not had a chance to watch the link you provided...yet.

I'm hesitant about posting the photos just yet, but believe me if the frustration level continues, I'll do just that!
And thanks for the information and the offer too! (just might take you up on it!)

CO: Thanks for your reply for help!
I am aware of the Content Aware, but I did not know there was a "move" tool.
But, when you say you "Expand the canvas" I have no idea what you are talking about.
I do know/remember that there is a "Canvas Size" but from that point on....all greek to me!

But, from what I'm reading, you expand the canvas and place both photos on the canvas. Then use the Content aware Move tool to bring the second photo into the first one? If this is the case, how do you make the second photo appear in the back of the family photo?
This is my problem; getting the "head-shoulder" picture behind his family in the front photo.

Thanks again!

hfb46, as I say, I'm a bit hesitant about uploading the photos just yet.
However, if the frustration level continues, I will up load the photos, but again, I really need to learn how to do this.

Thanks for your offer too!

Stan W. Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into the Smart Photo Editor to see if this is something I can use for my problem!
