You'll need to import the photos to photoshop and edit them, depending what you need to do is a big question, The images need to been seen, in order to give you suggestions.

hi ,
you might want post al ink to the pictures that way people can look at it and determine which meathod the best and give you the step they used to get there....

it actually easy although to make perfect take a little longer ..smiling..
basically what you want to do is select your dad and then copy to the clipboard and then open your othe image and do a paste , that will put your dad on a seperate layer.... and you can then adjust the dad image to fit into the new image...

now to select a object there several ways to do that either use the magic wand . the magnetic lasso or use channel masking technique, and there a couple of others..

I would think maybe using channel mask technique be good... there a ton of tutorials o this tecknique... and this is one of them...

another meathod is using the magic eraser in this tutorial erase the background.... now once done then you can use your magic wand select the background and then do a select>inverse and then copy the object to the clip board ... this tutorial not only show how to the eraser but other techniques you can use to select a object ...

now once you have your object (dad) pasted into your group photo... you can can then move him into position by using the move tool and then use the transform tool to size your dad to fit the other people there..
i also suggest on the edges of your dad possibly use a very very slight blur ....

hopefully some one comes along and maybe explain it better or give different teckniques that works better for you...
