PHOTOCHOP REQUEST

[Protege79]

Haven't had too much experience with photoshop since I just got it but here is a quick attempt.

Any feedback appreciated

Helpful tips from a hobbyist...

1) try to blend the exposure and/or color/saturation to match the skin color of the other pic

2) looks like in that pic you could also have used the hair of the girl to make it look more realistic. To do that you'd have to cut the girl's hairline out and place it as the top layer, then place your subjects face underneath it and situate nicely. You may also need to blend out the background where her ears and cheeks were so you can size down your subject perfectly and not see the girl's features at all. I think his head could have been sized down a bit to look more natural.

3) I find that I often have to use the neck of my person to make it look natural on the body of the other, which works out better if there is a high collared shirt as opposed to cleavage.

I originally used the girl's hair by selecting everything but the guy's face (use the lasso and select inverse) and then used the history brush (I think that's what it's called) to bring the hair through but as I'm a bit unexperienced it didn't look quite right so I went back to just using the head.

I've gotta be at work soon but I'll work on it some more tonight
