using microsoft photo editor is it possible to take two images I downloaded from my cell phone and combine them? And do that with other images too just random things? Like if I wanted to put a cats head on a human body or something ,how would I do that? TIA

Are you asking about Adobe PhotoShop? Or about MicroSoft Photo Editor? They are two different software packages.

But either can do what you want. It takes a little skill and some practice, but you basically take the cat photo, use the edit tool to cut out just the head, then drop a layer containing the head and nothing else on top of the photo of the person. You can adjust that layer by moving it and changing the size, then flatten the two layers to a single image. There are other methods, but they all amount to the same series of steps.

Making it look good isn’t easy, it takes time and practice.
