Replacing a background
There are a number of ways of doing this as per Paul's link - although I usually find it's necessary to use layer masks either to fine tune the details or do the whole thing. A couple of things to bear in mind though-
1) if you're using the pen or eraser tool to cut the image out, getting the correct softness of your brush is vital - a hard edged brush used on a soft pic or vica versa will look obviously wrong
2) one you've cut the image out, using dodge and burn tools on the edges to burn shadows (if it's a dark background) or dodge highlights (light background) to help tie it in more with the new background.
