There's a ton of ways to do what you want. The biggest thing you
will have to worry about is lighting. For instance, if you are
putting something that was lit from the left into a scene that was
lit from the right, then there is little you can do. No matter how
carefully you add it to your scene your brain will always tell you
there is something wrong with the picture.<br>
<br>
I tend to use a couple of different techniques to put one image into
another.<br>
If the background is a relatively solid color, I'll use a technique
similar to this example for cutting out images while preserving fine
details (hair in this example)... hint, you don't use ANY of the
selection tools, or copy and past.<br>

<br>
The other way I like combine image is brushing out the background
using layer masks as demonstrated in this video with the leg:<br>

<br>
I usually use a combination of the 2 techniques since you rarely get
perfect results with either method.<br>
<br>
All these methods ultimately use layer masks, which is a much better
way to combine photos than cutting and pasting since you can tweak
what is transparent or not back and both without having to commit to
a certain part of an image like you do with cutting and pasting.<br>

<div>The method I learned was to open both files and then to
select the image you want to put on the other with fuzzytool.
I found that didn't work so I used the path tool. Well I cut
the image out but the paste doesn't look good. It is out of
scale. For the purposes I need WHat ithe best way to cut a
house out and put it on a blue sky?<br clear="all">
