Hey guys.

I have a small questions regarding image editing (or at least, that's what I think it's called

).

There is a small "project" I want to do for Christmas. What I want to do is merge two pictures together. Since I'm not a fan of taking pictures of myself (or being in them in any way), I don't have any, and now I kinda need them.

Basically, what I want to do with these pictures is recreate a moment. I know, I know, it sounds sappy, but I think it would be rather nice. Now, since I don't have any pictures of myself in the given times when those situations occured, what I want to do is this:

I want to take a picture of the actual place, like say a classroom (...). Then, I want to take another picture of myself wherever. What I want to do is take the picture of myself and somehow put it in the picture with the classroom, so it looks like I'm actually in it.

I know that this is something that can be done, but I'm not sure which program is the best for this. I was thinking that it is probably photoshop, but I'm not entirely sure.

So, if anyone can tell me which program I should use, and maybe give me a link that offers a tutorial or something, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks in advance.
