Open you original image then go Select>All >Edit> Copy and then open your background image and go Edit>Paste > this will paste your subject on top of your new background.You can now close down the original image which will leave the new layered image to work on, click on layer 1 in the layers pallete to activate it and use the selection tool of your choice (eraser lasso tools etc) to remove the background from layer 1 and leave your new background showing.
