It's a really open ended question your asking?

Do you want to place native SU output on a background image? Try Photomatch, File > Import > 2D Graphic then navigate to your image you want.

There are lots of tutorials on how to use Photomatch on YouTube.

Or if you've an image editor like Photoshop or the free Gimp you can File > Export > 2D Graphic and do some Post Processing there. Again there are some tips and tricks for this too.

Also if you're looking to make your model look photorealistic there are options for this too!
