Greeting all!
I have been asked by the mother-in-law to take 2 photos and use one picture(only the head) and place in in another picture while keeping the original body. The 2 pictures are of a couple and the woman by herself.
Read over the boards and was trying to do a layer... not much success. Please send any help you can, those with a mother-in-law will understand!
TIA

well i don't have a mother in law,
but i think we could help you better if you showed the pictures!
i don't realy understand what you mean with " i tried layers"!
since it's two seperate pictures, if you want to put them in the same document you will atomaticaly have more then one layer!
After that you have to start working on the fitting proportions of picture with the other, you can try a layer mask, or simply the eraser tool to delete the parts you don't want to be visible!
but post the pics, someone will probably do it for you!

sorry for not being clear...
2 pics, one woman by herself, and another photo of the husband and the woman together. The husband likes the facial expression on the picture of her by herself. He wants to replace her head with the one where she is alone in the pic.
hope this helps |

Oh, ok
maybe try using the polygonal lasso tool and selecting the face from one of the pics, and then erasing the face out of the other one, then paste and move the face into place, and then use clone tool and healing and smudge tool to make it look good, sorry if that wasnt 100% clear
oh and btw moi, we posted at exactly the same time! lol

How well this works has a lot to do with the lighting, you need the lighting on the face to match the lighting on the bodies or it wont look right.
I would do it this way, use the poligonal lasso to draw around the the "new" face, then edit copy, open the body pic and edit paste, (you will now have the face somewhere on the body pic) select the move tool and drag the face roughly over the old face (don't wory about size yet) now open your layers palette (if it's not allready open) and slide the opacity slider down untill you can just see the old face through the new one, now if they are different sizes go to edit transform, and holding down shift drag a corner untill the eyes and mouth line up, when your happy double click in the face anywhere to apply the transformation.
Now put the opacity back to 100% and use the eraser to tidy up (carfully) around the edges, if you go wrong, just use edit step backwards and redo the bit your not happy with. when your finished you can ajust the colour if needed, then your last step is layers/flatten, then you can save as a jpeg.
