Changing faces

Hi,
How do you take a face/body from one pic and put it on another picture and make it look seamless? There is one thread with people putting a face on movie posters and stuff, how do u do that? I can never get it to look right.

Hmm... There is no easy way to do this - it's very hard, but heres a few tips:

First of all, try and get a film poster/celebrity picture etc, where the actor/celebrity is looking in the same direction as the picture of the person you want to use - this will make it seem much more realistic when you use it

Then, carefully erase around the person's head you want to use. I would only take the front of face, and not ears, hair etc. So you have just the middle of the face - eyes mouth nose. Then copy this, and paste into film poster/image of celebrity

Adjust the size of the cropped face to be the same size as the celebrities face as best you can. Then, place it ontop of the celebrities face!

Try to smooth the transition between the faces, and click on the cropped face, and make the colour levels, 'auto-colour'. This should blend the faces.

If required, use the paintbrush and colour selector tool to select the colour of skin, and to carefully brush this around the edges.

It's hard but keep trying
