  4. Rename both the Layer rename to frnds and hand after renaming select the hand layer
  5. Press "Ctrl+T" and transform (resize) the picture to your required choice.
  6. Now Click on Filter --> Extract Menu........... (Keep in mind that you have you have selected the hand layer ) extract the required portion of the image ........... (yes I know there is a simple way to extract the image like magical wand etc. but this extracting technique is best and is suitable for all types of images)
  7. Also Resize the frnd image (select the frnd image and then click press Ctrl+T )
