None of the apps I have (Photos, Image Tricks, etc) seem to be able to do this.
I have a photo of two cars. I have created a zoom-in of the licence plate of one of the cars, and that is the second image, which I want to paste (overlay) onto the original.
This seems pretty straightforward. I want to create a JPEG as output.

To combine two photos into one you need software that supports compositing - Photoshop (Elements), Pixelmator, Affinity, Graphic Converter, Preview, to name just a few.
Photos cannot do this. It is meant to enhance photos by enhancing the colors or the sharpness, straightening the horizon, cropping the photo. But it does not support graphics compositing, only in a limited way with the mark up extension.

Great, you found an easy way.
If you want an editor as powerful as Photoshop, but free, have a look at Gimp: https://www.gimp.org/downloads/
It is one of the best open source projects. If you have the patience to learn how to use it, it is a magnificent tool.
Hey, I did my job with Photo Editor Pixelstyle. And easily too. :-)
Great suggestions.
Considering it's a one time job, I don't really want to get a $60 package for this. Would you happen to know of any less expensive options? Or software with a trial?
