5. There are still a few minor adjustments that you need to make, so go to the Properties Panel on the right to fine-tune the selection and finalize the cutout.

6. Finally, you can now combine the two images, by first selecting the layer, then clicking and dragging the cutout image over to the tab of the image where you want to place the person, and then dropping it in.

7. You can use the borders surrounding the cutout to resize it  to fit the image properly and even zoom in or out a bit if needed.

8. Just make those last few adjustments to ensure the added person blends perfectly into the image.
