Can someone help me with this head on another body photo?

I think I have it mostly right, but the neck area looks REALLY bad. Can anyone help me on how to do this? Literally just started using Photoshop hours ago and I'm getting the hang of it.

Just a blend and a bit of paint brush over the top a smudge a new layer with extra light adjustment and bobs your uncle young jedi.

Thank you so much! Now I have another dilemma. I have the picture you helped me with and a picture I just took of my house and I'd like to put my picture there. My issue is that the quick selection tool keeps picking up the left side of the picture and when I Ctrl+C the selection and paste it over my background, the picture of me comes out to be like 60x60 pixels large and when I increase the size, it doesn't keep native resolution, it's just an enlarged, pixelated piece of mess. What do!? Thank you again, I'm learning a lot already.

use the pen tool mate and work a path around yourself then make new copy and paste over into your house.

Here's what it looks like when I plain ol' copy and paste the picture without cropping the body. Enlarging the size makes it pixelated. It's weird because the original picture is NOT that size! It's much larger!

well i saved your problem file and opened it, it worked fine for me mate?
i also gave you some colour, don't no how tanned you are, just hoe shes worth it all

That's really cool how you added color. But what exactly did you do to get the outline of the body?! The pen tool is like a bunch of straight lines so I don't know if that's it.

[Paul]

you can use the magic wand on some of the areas of the background and then erase out, then fine erase by making eraser smaller and go around outline of the body, when your happy just paste it into the room.
pen tool tuts every where mate, loads on this site.

head is slightly to big for body, resolution of pic of house is way to big for your pic even on Belials attempt the perspective isnt quite right and he is to over lit compared to background Not a bad attempt and this kind of thing gets harder to do the more you look at it
