In Editor, go to the expert tab.

Open picture B, the one you wish to select something from to add to another picture.
Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
Use the move tool to position object from picture B.
In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and object B on a separate layer.

I used the below instructions, it worked. However, when I paste the cropped field into picture B there is a white background. How do I get rid of the white background.Thank you

Refer to step #4.

After you have pasted the selection, it should be on a separate layer. The replacement-face selection should be visible surrounded by a checkerboard pattern, which denotes transparency.

"However, when I paste the cropped field into picture B there is a white background."

The directions do not reference cropping. If you are using the crop tool, abandon it. Use the selection brush or the marquee tool to make the selection.of the face, only the face and not part of the background.

I don't see a checkerboard, just white. Where did you get "Transparency"?

Let's try again.

For demonstration, I took a harbor scene and added the moon to it.

I used the magnetic lasso to select the moon from another picture

Then Edit>copy

Opened the picture of the harbor

Then Edit>paste. This is step 4. In the layers palette, it shows up as Layer 1 - just the moon surrounded by transparency.

Your screen shot is different than what I see on my screen. I'm using Adobe Photoshop 14, does that make any difference?

I did everything you suggested. But when I do the edit/paste, the white still pastes onto the picture around the subject. I went to the layers it doesn't show any transparency. The only transparency option I have is when I go to Edit/preferences/transparency. When

These are basic tools in PSE and they are available to you on the Expert tab.

You may find this PDF file helpful, esp. chapter 6 as it relates to your project.
