I've done this before, and it's worked, but usually it doesn't. For some reason, I can't seem to encode the final step.
Working with layer masks, as described by Asher and Tim, I get to this step (in bold):
Open up a file with a picture of green grass and select and drag that image to the brides picture. Move the layer so it's between the two copies of the brides picture.
Select the asphalt path. Drag that layer to the bottom of the layer dialog box to the mask icon. You'll now see a white rectangle to the right of the image icon in that layer. Make sure this is selected. Now fill the selection you made of the asphalt with black: Edit, fill, black.
Now the grass layer below will show through.
Go back to the mask layer. Reselect the white box which has now black in the center.
Use a black soft brush (vary the size with the [ for smaller brush or ] for larger brush size) and set the percent at the top of the Photoshop command bar to be 10% and then paint either black to make more grass gradually appear or white to bring back the dress that you accidentally obscured.
and then I'm stuck. What on earth do I do now?
