Taking photos together is quite difficult. Solve this by swapping faces through image processing software. In addition, this technique can also be used to make photos of your friends funny. Perform this technique by selecting two (or more) images, merging them all together, and making adjustments.
Step
Part 1 of 3: Prepare Two Images
Step 1. Select two images
Decide which image will be the background and which will be the face.
The selected face image does not have to have the same skin tone or gender as the background image. Using the tools in Adobe Photoshop, merged images can look convincing
Step 2. Open both images in Photoshop
Make sure the two open images are on different layers, so there will be two tabs containing each image.
Duplicate your image so you can start over if you make a mistake
Step 3. Open the image containing the face you want to apply
The face in the image can be removed if you want to use this image for the background..
Step 4. Select “lasso tool” or “pen tool”
Click the lasso string icon in the tool bar or press the L key. The “lasso tool” has great flexibility because you can choose the area freely. The “Pen tool”, which is in the tools panel, has the advantage of this process because you can select faces easily with anchor points.
Step 5. Draw a line around the face you want to select
Make sure all the unique parts of the face, such as curves, moles, wrinkles, dimples or wounds, have entered the selected area.
If you use the pen tool, you can adjust your selection by selecting anchor points while holding down the Ctrl key. After setting the anchor points, right-click and select “Make selection” from the drop down menu
Step 6. Copy the selected area
Press Ctrl + C on the keyboard or click the Edit>Copy menu to copy the selected area.
Part 2 of 3: Merge Pictures
Step 1. Paste the desired face onto the background image
Bring the desired face to the face you want to replace.
You can also create a new layer from the Layer>New>Layer menu and press Ctrl + V or select the Edit>Paste menu to paste the copied face to another face
Step 2. Turn the image into a smart object
Right click on the image and select “Convert to smart object”. Now you can resize your image.
Step 3. Adjust the desired face size so that it fits where the face you want to replace
To resize or rotate the image, select the layer you want to change, choose Edit>Free Transform, or press Ctrl + T.
Change the transparency (opacity) of both images at 50 percent so that you can see both images at the same time when resizing the face
Step 4. Align the face image
Use the eyes and mouth in the face image as guides to align the two faces. Make sure the two pairs of eyes overlap each other, then rotate the face image so that the mouths are parallel.
To rotate an image, click on a corner of the image and then slowly rotate it so that the two images are aligned
Step 5. Select OK or press Enter key
Once your two images are aligned, return the transparency (opacity) to 100 percent.
Step 6. Create a layer mask to unite the two face images
Select the “brush tool” and use it to camouflage the edges of the face so that it blends in with the background image. Lower the brush percentage so that the color contrast at the edges of the face is not as noticeable.
When using the “brush tool” to combine face images, the black color will erase the top part of the image and reveal the background, while the white color will restore the background
Part 3 of 3: Making Adjustments
Step 1. Create an adjustment layer
Select the menu Layer> New> New Adjustment Layer and select Hue/Saturation. Put a check mark on “Use Previous Layer” to create a “Clipping Mask”.
With adjustment layers, you can make many changes to the image without losing the previous image
Step 2. Adjust the skin tone
At this stage you will make adjustments to the color and adjust the color density from the menu Image>Adjustment>Hue/Saturation.
Enter a number in the box provided or use the slider to adjust
Step 3. Adjust brightness
Use the Hue/Saturation menu as in the previous step to adjust the brightness.
Step 4. Use the “brush tool”
You can use the “Brush tool” if there are small details that need to be fixed. For example, if the eyes in the image look faded, use the soft settings in the “brush tool” and change the brightness and color levels.
Step 5. Check your progress
Compare images and see if your final result looks realistic or not. If not, pay attention to the previous steps, you may have to readjust your image or there are edges of the image that need to be blurred.
