- Now in the next step make sure that both the photos are loaded in layer and also that both the photos have duplicate as backup.
- Now select the desired face and choose Lasso Tool or Pen Tool from the Toolbox. (Lasso Tool and Pen Tool both can be used for this purpose but Pen Tool is preferred as it provides more control by allowing you to set up anchor points.)
- Now use the Pen Tool and adjust adjust the selection by pressing the Ctrl key.
- Once anchor points are set select Make Selection.
- Now copy the selection by pressing Ctrl+C from your keyboard.
- Now paste the desired face into the background image and for that you need to create a new layer and then press Ctrl+V from your keyboard.
- Adjust the face accordingly on the body.
- Now convert the Image into a smart object by right clicking the face which will let you resize the face.
- Click Edit>Free Transform or Ctrl+T for resizing or rotating the image.
- Next step is to align the face by using eyes and mouth as guides. Press Enter once alignment is done.
