How to make photoshop cut and paste look real?

I'm copying and pasting an image of a wristband onto the arm of someone. 2 questions:

1)The light and shadow of the wristband is the complete opposite of lighting source for my composition. Is there a CS5 trick to make the light parts of the wristband become the shadow and the shadow become the light? Like some type of brightness flip tool?

2) The wristband still has a cut and pasted quality because I think the wristband is a higher resolution. Is there a CS5 trick or tool lower the resolution without changing what I've already cut and pasted into the image?

Any other suggestions appreciated.
2) I meant to say without changing the size of what I've cut/pasted.
