Photoshop Yourself With a Celebrity

Photoshop Yourself With A Celebrity Tutorial


This tutorial will show you how to Adobe Photoshop yourself to be with a Celebrity alive or dead. This is one of my most requested tutorials , so here goes …….
We start with a photo of your face…
Your Face

And a photo you want to add yourself into ..
Original Photo - Nixon & Elvis
Choose Quick Select Tool
Quick Select  Tool
And select the face, not including the hair, you may not need the eats either.
Select Face
Goto Edit -> Copy
Copy
Then goto the photo you are going to photoshop yourself into and then
Edit -> Paste

Now you need to re-size ”your” face to the same size as the original face.
Resize Face
See Below for re-sized face.
Resize Face-2
Move your face on top of the original face and change the Opacity so you can see through it.
Layer Opacity
Now you need to align your face with the original face, I tend to try and align the eyes and mouth.
Align Your Face
Choose the eraser tool

Now change the Opacity of the Eraser to a low amount between 10-30% and start rubbing out/erasing some of your face as below, in this case I removed my ears and the outside of my face, as you can see below!
Eraser-2
Once you are happy, change your top Layer Opacity to 100%.
Layer Opacity 100%
Now in this photo I want to Desaturate my image.
Desaturate

Now the image is desaturated, we still need to do some work to make it blend as it doesn’t look right just yet.

Now we need to change the Levels to make the image blend a bit more, but its still not done yet, needs more work.

Now we need to change the Brightness & contrast, see below for this example.
