I don't understand it?

Okay I have been using Gimp for like 4 years now but I do simple type photo art. I use the lasso to remove the image and then past it onto my background. I usually have to use the clone a lot to blend the image. My question is can you open two pictures at once? Not as a layer but as a base for cloning? Say I want to take a mans face and create cracks in it from like rocks, I don't want to past him onto a rock textue, clone then cut it again to past it onto my origional background. I don't know how to use transparence so I never use that one. Can this be done? How? I really want to learn this stuff but I have been self tought from the get go!

I attached a picture of the type of work I do. Please help if you can. use simple terms bacause I don't understand how all of the tools work. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this.

Yes, e.g. with File->open

for cloning?

Yes. with the clone tool active, control-click on one image and then paint with the clone tool on the other image.

Your work is very good, thank you for sharing it.

You might find "The artists' guide to the gimp" a useful book. It does use a little bit of jargon, but it does try to explain things and has tutorials thatyou can work through. Transparency is a very useful tool.
