Add someone from one photo to another photo using this beginner-friendly GIMP photo manipulation tutorial! With GIMP, the free photo editor, you can easily take a subject from a photo and place it in another image. Using the background removal, color correcting, and shading techniques I discuss in this tutorial, you'll be able to realistically add anybody missing in your photos!
I use GIMP 2.10.30 for this tutorial, which is the latest version of GIMP at the time of the recording.
