  1. First, on a New Layer, draw an outline of the painting that you want to replace.

    Then use Align Object to center your replacement image.

    Then use Layers > Rotate / Zoom to change the perspective to what looks okay.

    Use the Move Selected Pixels tool with the Shift key down to resize the image.


    And reposition the image with the Move Selected Pixels tool.

  2. You will want to do all of your editing on New Layers above the background image.

     

    The red line on the left goes from the end of the man's hand to the end of the hand's shadow.

    This gives you the angle of the sunlight.

     

    Get the shadow color with the Color Picker tool from the existing shadows.

     

    Then use your imagination for the shape of the girl's shadow.

     

    Because she is up in the air, shadow will be lighter in color due to more ambient light.

    Reduce the darkness of the shadow by reducing Opacity in Layer Properties.

     

    The shadow can be moved up or down on the canvas

    to match where you want the girl to be in the scene.
    (Nearer or more distant in the scene.)

    =========================================

     

    It might look better if the girl was smaller and rotated,

    if you can do so without losing too much image quality.

    Erase any parts of the shadow that cover
    any foreground items.

  3. First remove everything that looks like stairs, using Select/Delete and Eraser tool.

     

    Then put a new layer under the image and make a Rectangular selection bigger than the hole.

    Apply a Linear Gradient to the selection with different

    shades of grey as Primary and Secondary colors.

    You will need to do some final detail work using this tutorial. (Click the PDF link).
