How I chop photos

This is going to be a very basic tutorial for beginners to show how to mask an image and blend it. I chose to do George W Bush’s face on a chimp. Don’t ask me why, it was just the first thing I thought to do while trying to come up with something for this tutorial.

Step 1:

Get the pictures. Try to get faces that are facing the same way as your subject.

Roughly select the face. Don’t worry about being exact.

Step 2:

Now drag the face to the picture you want to merge it with. You’re going to want to rotate and scale (ctrl+t) the picture so it fits about the same size as the subject.

Step 3:

Now for the important step. Make a layer mask, the button is on the bottom of the layer palette.

Step 4:

Select a large soft brush, around 40 - 60, maybe even larger depending on what you’re doing. I used a 40. Make sure the color is black and start brushing away at the edges. This is alot better than the eraser tool because you can always go back and fix it if you need to. It gives alot more control.

Step 5:

Now the color of the face probably isnt the same as the subject you put it on. So go to Image -> Adjustments -> Hue/Saturation and play with those settings until you get something close.

Step 6:

Now just go back over what you did and tweak the settings and tighten up the layer mask and you should have it. If you’re having problems matching colors and Hue/Saturation isn’t working for you try some of the other color adjustment tools. Adjusting the Levels of both images to match them is a good way to start off as well.

Here is my final version
