I wanted to select a head from one picture and paste into another. I thought maybe I could use refine edge in my new CS5 and just place it on the background picture. Then I wanted to transform the head so it would be a larger size. When I get it on the background I am not able to change the size using the transform button. Is there another way to do this? When you are dealing with a lot of hair it seems that refine edge would be the correct method of selection. Songbird​
 
As long as it's on it's own layer you should be able to use transform. The keyboard shortcut is ctrl+t.
 
I guess I need to know how to get my head from refine edge to the second picture and then change the size. I won't know what size to make it unless I see it aginst the second photo. What output do I use from refine edge?
 
If you want to put that selection on a new image none of the choices will work for you.
Just click OK and then Ctrl+J (Cmd+J on the Mac).
That will put that selection on a new layer.

Then open the new image if it's not already open and drag that layer to the new image..
Resize it there with Transform.
 
Thanks for the help everyone. I have been wonderng how to accomplish this task for a couple of months now. It was very fun getting the picture of my grandaughter and grandneice together, both smiling at the camera.
