Superimposing portraits

wlcling · 8th May 2007

Hi all PS gurus, i am asked to do up a fun event at my workplace... which will need me superimposing face shots of employees onto bodies of god knows what....

any easy way to do this in PS, as i have not ventured there before... I don't think a very excellent and clean method is needed as I wouldnt have time for that... is this possible?

If you can take the portraits with a clear white or single solid coloured background, you make easy selections of their faces with the magic wand tool... then just drag that over to the image you want it on.

Other method is to just copy a layer of the portrait over the body image, add a layer mask, use a soft edged black brush to reveal the body image below and leaving the face behind.
