Hi everyone,

I have two photos of the same person, front and back. i want to take the head from one shot and exchange it with the other shot. What is the best way to do this?:confused:

thanks in advance!

charlotte, select the part you wish to move using selection tool most comfortable to you.
Drag it or paste it onto the 2nd photo.
Reduce the opacity so you can see the bottom photo. which will help you size and position the new part.
When done bring the opacity back to 100%.
