a picture editor?...

GIMP might be able to do that. If not, then it has to be photo shop, which is six hundred and fifty dollars. Or you can get it illeagally and live with guilt.

Google gimp though, it's free and is a powerful editor for being free.
 
I have tried GIMP and found it quite difficult to use. The software that I use to do that kinda crap is PhotoPlus10! by Serif (http://www.serif.com) and you can get it online for about £59.99 (approx $90) and they support the product downloads if you can't be bothered to wait for postage :D. If you try and get anything else of their's aswell, they'll usually do you a great deal on other packages.

The programme itself almost mirrors Adobe's working environment for about 1/10 of the price and I have not had any problems with it at all. I found it a lot easier to use than the GIMP and their online/telephone support is great (not that I have had to call them, cos their stuff is so easy to use). Plus, it will support all of the leading Plugins out there.

If you do go for it, please let them know of any feedback that you have, as that definitely gets you into their good-books for any future purchases, if you know what I mean...

Say no to tradition, go for the rank outsider!
 
If the new pic is to sit inside the old one, you can use microsoft photo editor (included in the office suite) - just copy one image and paste into the other.

You can also download an old (free) version of Paint shop pro here:

By opening the base image, enlarging the canvas, then copying the second image and pasting as a new selection you get overlapping images - old technology now but still useful.
