Thanks John i will try that

With both files open;
ImageOne = Original grille
ImageTwo = New grille

Drag ‘new grille’ layer to ImageOne
place New Grille layer on top.
Toggle New Grille layer On/Off to see ‘before and after’

I have a car file in which i want to modify the front grill. The new front grill layer is a completely new file.

I tried to copy and paste from one layer file to another but it does not work.

I would like to know how to take a layer in file one and have it replace the same layer in file 2

I assumed you created the new grille from the existing grille image. That would have made the ‘grille’ images identical in size and resolution. Oh Well…
Sounds like the new grille image is a different size.
Again, I assume the new grille image is just the grille, transparent background, no car.
To fix this…
Start with these Layers; Arranged from top to bottom
New Grille
Car
Then
Maximize the image window
Zoom way out until the image shrinks enough for you to see all four sides of the image.
Go to the New Grille layer
Then Edit/Transform/Scale
This will expose the corners of the New Grille Image layer. If you don’t see the corners, cancel and zoom out some more. Hold the shift key, grab a corner, and push in to make it smaller. The shift key locks the aspect ratio of the transform.
You can release the corner and click/drag the grille into position then scale some more.
Continue with scale and drag until you are happy.
Accept the transform then zoom in and start tweaking.
Depending on your new grille image, you may have to do some additional magic to completely cover up the old grille when you do the overlay.
