Artistes, Please Advise

need some help please from those fotoshop artists amongst LOC.

I`m using arcsoft photostudio, this is similar to fs...it has layers, clone,smudge etc.

trying to superimpose a larger sized facial picture, lets call that me, onto a smaller full body pic of someone else, lets call him aragorn (the wife has a thing about him, and i want to freak her out somewhat!!!! :D )

what is the best procedure, bearing in mind i almost blew a gasket trying to work with layers, which should be simple but seems to end in mass confusion.

i know how to use most tools, but i can`t get it nearly as peachy as Niraj did with that chrome effect rav4!!

I end up with white/black spaces, or it looking "stuck on", ie not natural.

there must be some sort of knack or procedure i`m missing.

help greatly appreciated, and i may even post the result......................after erasing my embarrassment :D

hehe, i'm by no means a professional, but the tools you will be using are:

blend, smudge, lasso, and the opacity filter to check between layers... you can then also use the Hue/Saturation to get a good colour/tone match.

send me both images, and i'll give it a go for you ;)
