First, open both images.

Next, select the polygonal or magnetic lasso tool.

Then use the lasso tool to outline your image. Be sure to connect the starting and end point. You will end up with "marching ants." It should look like this with the dashes moving around your selected image.

Once completely selected, go to edit, then select copy.

Go to the background you wish to place your selected image, and select edit, paste.

Your selected image will appear on your background.

You can then make any adjustments necessary to blend your image into the background. This could be adjusting levels, curves, contrast, transform, etc.

If you want a vintage look, or apply a photo filter to create an effect, go to image, adjustments, photo filter. This will give your overall image the same tonal quality.

Adjust the density to see the color difference. Under filter, you can select it and see other pre-set options.

You can also make your own filter by selecting color. This allows you to set your own color tone throughout your image.
