Thanks for the advice.

I just want to put 8 pictures of a person alongside each other. If part of 
an arm is missing then that ppart of the picture can be hidden behind the 
next one and so on.
It's not imperative to have all the body on display just mainly the head and 
torso.
I'm sure it can be done and think it has something to do with Layers.
Also I am sure there are ways of cutting round a person, maybe with the 
magic wand tool?
