I have to confess, Not at all sure what you intended Wink At first I though maybe this:

...but then maybe this:

As it turned out neither of those. One thing you should note, the 'heart-n-horns' image is in indexed mode and you only get away with the paste-into, because the portrait is RGB mode.

You can achieve the same end result with Gimp or Photoshop. But they are not equivalents. Gimp has features that photoshop does not have; and photoshop has features that Gimp does not have.
the same end result is good Smile 
I have pictures that out of focus and not clear;  that I've  used them on Wordpress.
Any instructions how to refresh's them?
For ex. I go to  COLOR-Auto and try different options.....but maybe there are others/additional ways to improve qualities of photos?
thanks

Refreshing pictures is always tricky because you change the scene you have taken to a scene (color) was not really there, but the eye want to see full colors and scharp pictures. Think about this so that you don't overdo colors and sharpness.
The easy ones :
-If a picture is to dark, make a copy of the layer and choose for the upper layer mode screen
-If a picture is to bright, make a copy of the layer and choose for the upper layer mode multiple
- play with the GIMP colours/color tools
Interesting : 

GmicQt :
- make the dark sections brighter : lights&shadows/pop shadows
- make the picture sharp : details/mighty details (mix with original layer picture)
- make the colors better : colors/colors + basic adjestments also colors/color presets

I've tried to to Color - Map- white space.. etc
Are the any direction in GIMP to deal with refreshing photos?
thanks.

Actually, your adjusted images looks more impressive Smile But I don't keep this heart-n-horns' image since  I've already add. it to an another picture. What  indexed mode mean/extension of image?
Is it important for quality picture ext: jpeg, jpg, png, others. I've heard that php keep more information... But I put those pictures on Wordpress side where resolution 72 as for web. Should I worry about extension, size to download ,others?

On GIMP10 on Layer menu I could not find "copy" .. 
1.Do you mean  duplicate/something else?
2. Where "layer mode screen" located?

Can I directly work to make it darker/lighter with Color-Brightness-Contrast or working with layers preferable?
thanks

Could you point out some  specific mode for lighter as you did for bright(multiple)?
After I  improve a picture follow as above  should I just  export it  with the old  name?

You wrote:

"- make the dark sections brighter : lights&shadows/pop shadows"

How to proceed with that , like select section and then adjust/anything else??

thanks

I wasn't sure exactly what final image you had in mind so I did the following, trying to make it as streamlined as possible. Open the woman image, duplicate it, and double it in size (you don't have to but this makes it easier to work on, at least for me). Open the heart with horns image, duplicate it, make sure the alpha channel is active (Layers to Transparency to Add Alpha Channel), then select the background, delete it, and save as .png (you are making a new .png file). Then open this new heart and horns file with Open as Layers and use the move tool to move it in place. I sized it down a bit (Layer to Scale Image).

I've done as below(not duplicate anything):
1. 0pen 2 images
2.copy a horn and past into a face
3 Layer  To  New Layer
4 Select Transparency-Color -to-Alpha
5. Layer transform/move

It would be even simple if  substitute 2: select first place on face and then past.....butit doesn't  work yet..  
Any idea how to simplify  complete  task  by not loosing quality?
