Hi. This is Marty from Blue Lightning TV. If you have multiple photos that were shot
at the same time and want to transpose the face from one photo to another, I'll show you how to do it.
Open the a photo that has a face you'd like to replace,
as well as the photo of the face you'd like to replace it with.
I downloaded these these from Shutterstock.com.
The first step is to bring the preferred face onto the other photo. To do this,
open your Rectangular Marquee Tool
and drag a selection over the face and shoulders.
We'll cut it out from the background and copy it to its own layer
by pressing Ctrl or Cmd + J.
To place it onto the other photo,
press "v" to open your Move Tool and drag it up onto the
tab of your other photo. Without releasing your mouse or pen, drag it down on the image
and release. We need to resize and position it. First, let's reduce its opacity, so we
can see the other face under it.
Open your Transform Tool by pressing Ctrl or Cmd + T.
Drag it over the other face. To resize it, go to a corner and when you see a diagonal,
double-arrow, press and hold Shift as you drag it out or in. Size it as close as you
can to the face under it. If you want to angle it, go to a corner and this time, when you
see a curved, double-arrow, rotate it. Drag it over the other face until they're generally
lined up. Don't be concerned if it's not perfect at this point. You'll be able to finesse its
size and position later. Press Enter or Return to accept it.
Bring the opacity back to 100%
and click the Layer Mask icon to make a layer mask.
Invert the layer mask by pressing or Ctrl or Cmd + I.
Making the layer mask black masks out or hides the face layer. Think of layer
masks as stencils. Black masks out, while white reveals. We're going to reveal the face
through the layer mask by brushing in white. But first, let's zoom in. Press "z" to open
your Zoom Tool and drag your tool over the area. If you want to move your image, press
and hold the Space bar as you drag it over.
Open your Brush Tool and Brush Picker.
We'll take of the size in a moment.
Make the Hardness: 0% and the Opacity and Flow: 100%.
To make your brush larger or smaller,
press the right or left bracket key on your keyboard.
Our foreground color needs to be white.
If your background color is white, invert the colors
by pressing "x" on your keyboard.
Brush over the face to reveal the new face in Layer 1.
To reveal back in areas of the background, press "x" on your keyboard
to invert your foreground and background colors.
Adjust the size of your brush if you need to. Then, brush over
those areas. Blend in the new face as much as you can. Don't be concerned if there are
areas of the background that can't be retouched at this point. We'll take care of that next.
Once you’ve retouched it as much as you can, make a composite snapshot by pressing
Ctrl + Shift + Alt + E on Windows or Cmd + Shift + Option + E on a Mac.
Zoom into the area you want to retouch.
Open your Clone Stamp Tool by pressing "s" on your keyboard.
Adjust the size of your tool relative to the area your going to retouch.
Alt-click or Option-click on your source area
and brush over the target area you want to clone it with.
When you're done retouching all the areas,
fit your document back onto your canvas by pressing Ctrl or Cmd + 0.
