Hey any one here have experience with photoshop? I just bought it and I am just figuring out how to use it and everything it can do. It is pretty easy to use but there are somethings that I wonder if it can do, can you cut out certain things in pictures in photoshop? Can you take parts of other pictures and put them in one picture with photoshop (not like a collage, like if i were to cut out a part of my body and replace it with someone else's), if so how do you do these things?

The clone stamp tool is very useful for blotting things out of a picture or introducing elements from other pictures. You specify the area you want to copy (either shift click or ctrl click, can't remember) and then just paint it over another area of the image or another image entirely.

I find this useful for painting textures over something you want to lose - it avoids having to sample a colour and end up with flat colour, which can often look odd. Have a play with it, it's quite fun.

Yes, you can do it easily. Anything can be done in PS, it's all possible.

When doing swaps (heads, whatever) I prefer to use the lasso tool...lasso what you need, feather, then paste it onto the photo you're working on and work on it as layers.

I use Paint Shop Pro, but you can do all kinds of silly things with it too.

There are tons of tutorials for photoshop online, even videos on youtube. I use Photoshop CS2 and just love it. Yes, you can swap heads, add backgrounds, and more.
