I am posting this because I had to edit a photo for an assignment.

I was given a photo of a cutting board and some vegetables beside it. I downloaded the image and opened it in Paint.NET (A free image editing software). The image had a white background, so I erased it off the sides of the vegetables so that the background would be clear. Then I cut-and-pasted the vegetables into a new layer on top of the base image. I moved the tomato onto the cutting board, shrank the lettuce so that it would fit on the board, and rotated the carrot. Then I saved the edited image as a .png, effectively “flattening” the layers. I then opened the image in MS paint and cropped it to get rid of the excess space. Below, I have attached the original image.
