Hello all. I need help editing these two photos. I would like to replace me in the first image, with the girl in the second image. I've tried, and nothing came out good. =\ Ha. Any help is appreciated.
Create layers, using the two to create one, its hard to explain but its all trial and error, some examples http://audiomad.deviantart.com/gallery
What software are you using? For most, you'll use the magic wand tool to cut out the girl in the second image, then paste the layer into the first, and then start to neaten it up with some of the other tools
Put the two photos on different layers. Sis=ze the photos appropriately. De-saturate the color photo and use the masking tool and a small soft-edged brush to softly blend it in. Done carefully, no one should see it was retouched. I used to do this with real airbrushing. It's WAY easier in photshop.
