Hi
A bit new to photoshop and I am trying to do a funny xmas card for work. I am cutting out faces of members of staff and putting them onto different bodies, can someone please tell me how to match the skin colour so the pic looks as real as possible

Cheers

Try using IMAGE/ADJUSTMENT/COLOR BALANCE and play with the levels and see if that helps. If not you can try IMAGE/ADJUSTMENTS/HUE SATURATION

those are the way I'd try it, others more knowledgeable may have better ideas.

Thanks
Worked after alot of messing about, was just messing about and found another way to do it but works along the same lines using levels, exposure and brightness/contrast. I duplicated the layer and set it to colour then got a sample from the pic of the body i wanted to match then painted my face, I then went into the levels and had a mess about and also done the same with exposure, brightness and contrast once i got the desired effect I flattened my image.

hey mbchurricane ... glad you figured it out ... and in Photoshop there always seem to be more than one way to do things.
