Want to cut one picture and paste it on another

Hi,folks,
I'm a first time poster, so thanks in advance for the help
My daughter's birthday is coming up, and she wants to be able to play reporter. I found a press pass jpg online, and I want to cut a picture of her and place it over part of the press pass picture.
The 2 main words on the original JPG are white with a black background. They are separated by a white field I'd also like to be able to change that black background ONLY to pink (she's 10 years old).
Can this be done with iPhoto, or will I need another app to do this. If I do, can you also point me to some tutorials for that app?

No, not a job for iPhoto, you'll need an editor for compositing.
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Regards
TD

How do I take one picture and combine it with another to make one?

I'm new at this but I want to take one picture and then another picture and combine them making it look like it all taken at the same time. Any help?

In Editor, go to the expert tab.
Open picture B, the one you wish to select something from to add to another picture.
Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
Use the move tool to position object from picture B.
In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and object B on a separate layer

Is it possible to clone an object from one image and paste it on another image?

Is it possible to clone an object from one image and paste it on another image in Aperture?

As Frank said,
but Aperture has a nice clone tool - the drawback is, that it only works within one image.
What I sometimes do - as a workaroud, when I want to use the clone brush, is to combine the image I want to clone from and the image I want to clone into, into one single image by printing them together to pdf as jpeg. Then I can clone from the second to the first, for example, to be able to add an fairy to a flower: Picking up the head of the fairy in the right image and brushing it into the left one. Occasionally I prefer the Aperture brush to the Photoshop lasso.

How to cut an image out of one photo and paste it onto another photo

I'm new to Photoshop Elements, and I don't understand the terminology well enough to get help to do this simple task. Any instruction would be appreciated.

Alright, this isn't too hard.
First off, open the photos.. After that, you'll want to use the selection tool (most will work) to select the place you want to allocate.
After you've done this, use the copy command to duplicate it. Go to the other photo and paste .
If you need to reposition or resize, use the move tool.
I once had a project I needed to do this. I had to take the two wooden front doors of a picture of an early picture of a model home and put them on the newer picture for work. I did these same steps, they should work for you!

I want to remove photo from one picture and move it to another. How is this done?

Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete

Cannot copy pics from one event and paste them in another...not sure why?

Anyone know a solution? It's almost like the event album is locked or something...

What if a user wants the same photo in two separate events?
In my case I have an event for a movie project and I want to take a movie from my 2012 spring event. I do not want to cut it from the 2012 spring event and put it ONLY in the movie project event. I want to COPY it so I have it in TWO SEPARATE EVENTS.
Why is this not possible?

How do I cut out an image from one photo and paste it in another photo?

Help! I did use the scissors and eraser tool to cutout unwanted background, and now I have an image I want to save and copy to another photo. The problem is that Elements 11 won't let me open up another photo at the same time, or let me copy the selected image to clipboard to paste on a different photo. Adobe's info. on how to do this seems to be sketchy.

Try this:
Open photo B, the one that you want to add an object to. Minimize this.
Open Photo A, and using one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, make a selection of the object that is to be transferred to B. You will see "marching ants" when the selection is complete.
Go to Edit menu>copy to place the selection on the clipboard
Go back to photoB
Go to Edit>paste
With the move tool, position the object and resize with the corner handles of the bounding box.

I don't think you can copy layers – at least not in the
way you are thinking.
But you can select frames or a range of frames and then
copy/cut frames.
In the new document you can then paste frames. It has a lot
of variations depending upon how you many you copy, if there are
multiple layers, what area you select before pasting and so on. It
would take a lot to describe and I'm not sure I would describe it
properly.
Generally just give it a try and get an intuitive feel for
it. The choices are available from the Edit menu but also from a
right click.
It is also possible to slect and edit multiple frames so if
you do need to move a bunch of things on different key frames that
is also possible.

I am cutting a graphic and pasting it into another photoshop file, it is in color when I cut..

..but pastes in black and white. What am I doing wrong?

You are most likely pasting into a grayscale document. Check at the top of your window of your target document to see whether it says "Grayscale" or "RGB."
It's less likely, but you might also have a single channel selected on your channels palette while previewing RGB.

Copy part of an image and paste it onto another?

I'm trying to take some writing from one image and paste it onto another photo. Is that possible?
Thanks!

In Photoshop yes, in Lightroom no...

I have an extensive aperture library on my computer's hard drive and I want to break it up into separate smaller libraries on external hard drives. How do I take projects from one library and add them to another one?

Coastal,
Frank gave you the exact answer to your question.
However, I would like to ask if you are indeed asking the right question. Do you really want different libraries? The implications are that you have to "switch" libraries to see what's in the others, and so that your searches don't work across all of your pictures? If so, then you asked the right question. If not, you may be more interested in relocating your masters to multiple hard drives so your library gets smaller, instead of breaking up the library.
