You can do it pretty easy, but results will equal how much time you spend on it. Basically you have to crop everything in the picture but the part you want to transfer, and also remove the background also. Then with the remaining image in one screen and the target picture in a screen next to it, you can drag and drop the cropped image. The time consuming part is getting the transfer image the correct size in relation to the target image.

My old Avatar was made by taking an image of my GTO and putting it on a picture of a tiger head, and the second pic was adding the tiger to the GTO. The second one was much harder since the tiger had to fit the car.

I use Photoshop 7 - which is overkill for most tasks, but I needed it for my business so it was a tax right off. What I don't know is what cheaper programs will still allow you to cut and paste the same way.

the same thing can be done with Photoshop Elements 7. Still a pricey program but not as expensive as the full Photoshop CS.
