People loved swapping faces in pictures from the moment they could find two pics and a pair of scissors. Today, the time of cutting a face then glueing it on another body has passed. Now this funny face swapping technique has entered the digital age and made itself comfortable. Want to learn how to change a face in a photo with another face? In this article we’ll show you 3 ways you can create a hilarious photo montage. Let’s get rolling!
Swap Faces with Photoshop
There’s no way we could not tackle this Adobe giant. Let’s see how to do a face swap in this photo editing behemoth.
Once you open the first pic (the one with the face) in Photoshop, pick the Lasso tool and trace the face to make a selection. Alternatively, you can use the Quick Selection tool to do it. Then copy this selection. Then, open the picture with the new body and paste the face layer atop it. Now position the top layer over the body so that it covers the old face. Resize and rotate the face if needed. And viola – you have swapped the faces!
Change One Face for Another with PhotoWorks
If the idea of fiddling with Photoshop does not appeal to you, then direct your attention to PhotoWorks. This face swap app for PC is a much easier and cheaper but just as powerful alternative to the Adobe product. Let’s see how you can use it to make photo montages.
First open the picture with the face in it. Next, use the Change Background tool to separate the head from the body. Use the green brush to outline the head and the red brush to mark the rest of the picture. Once you have the head as a separate layer, hit Select New Background and pick the second picture (the one with the body). Now, move the head layer over the body and make sure their sizes and angles match. And that’s it!
