Could anyone help with photoshopping two images together?!

[Rlb94]

I am very incompetent at even basic photoshopping, so any help would be very very much appreciated!

Basically, I would like to turn photos of famous people into black and white, and then photoshop them into the below picture so it looks like I have my arm around them:



(sorry it's not great quality!)


These are the people I would like to be photoshopped in with me (whichever photo is easiest/looks best):












I've tried to do it myself, but I can't get the colour of the images similar, and I can't get the proportions right!
I know it's not going to look realistic, but it's more just for fun.

If anyone could help me create any of these pictures at all, that would be brilliant!

All the others are much better. One thing about photoshop, you can only work with what is there....you need to start with 2 images CLOSE in size and quality...Then things work just like on CSI.

So sorry no I won't do it, but post up a BETTER image of yourself...the B/W conversion isn't needed, we can do THAT easy...

I agree with Mike... the image of yourself couldn't be much worse. I tried improving it as best I could, but for these things to look even remotely real the two photos need to be in the same general ballpark (or Cricket Grounds, since you're British) of focus and lighting. In my first attachment, you can see how much sharper and vibrant Obama is than you are. In the second attachment, I tried to retouch Obama to match you... blurring, adding grain, reducing the contract, and generally beating him into submission to get him down to the quality of your photo.

Thank you so much! I don't mind at all about the pictures not looking realistic, as it's just for fun! Really appreciate your help.
