Combining images

[User]

Hi,
I would like to combine 2 images using GIMP 10.
I find some tutorial  how to do it on GIMP8 but it was said that GIMP10 have some changing.
I want to put 2 image on the first make in the right size and  basically combine them.
What are directions to combine 2 images using GIMP10?
thanks.

There are some difference between 2.8 and 2.10, but that not much.

Can you provide the 2 images. Or, if they are large, provide a link to them.

It is just  a face and I want to put a horn on it. 
Is there any way to attach photos or I need to provide the link to  them?
Basically I would like to know the direction because i could not find anything  so far that working for 2.10.
I did as below:
Open first image.
Open second image and copy it.
Past it to first one. 
Trying to use layers , mask etc to blend the second with the first one but have no success yet.

I'll appreciate any instruction how to proceed.

I've tried to copy horn , select space on face and pasted a horn into selection then in layer-new layer/transparency/add to Alpha Channel.
but it doesn't work with selection.
How to approach?
thanks.

1. Open two separate images - the girl image; and the red heart image.

2. On the red heart image use the Fuzzy Select tool (threshold about 60) to select a black horn.

3. Edit>Copy (or Ctrl-C)

4. Switch to girl image. Edit>Paste (or Ctrl-V)

5. In the layers dialogue you have Floating Selection. Right click and do To New Layer.

6. Use the Scale Tool to reszize the horn layer. (Keep Aspect must be checked)

7. Use the Move Tool to move the horn into position.
(The black horn doesn't show up well against the girls hair, so I changed it to red for clarity.)

(Look at the attached xcf to see the 2 layers)

From what you wrote and looking at your image it looks like you have selected "Create a new layer". Look at the attached image to see what I mean.

It looks i have different items on menus....
Anyway I've figured out how to add image: 
Past it, then on layer-transparency-Color to Alpha.
Is  GIMP as Photoshop or Photoshop have more option/anything else or I need to ask another question?

thanks.

You can achieve the same end result with Gimp or Photoshop. But they are not equivalents. Gimp has features that photoshop does not have; and photoshop has features that Gimp does not have.
