Original image

step 1 of 11

Started by cutting the mouth out and transforming it into position.

step 2 of 11

Using a layer mask I masked out the mouth.

step 3 of 11

Played with the Color Balance on that layer to match the color of the mouth with the frog.

step 4 of 11

I cloned out the frog's nostrils as they were not required.

step 5 of 11

Again I copy/pasted the girl's face paying particular attention to the nose this time. I transformed the nose to suit the frog.

step 6 of 11

Using the layer mask again I masked out the nose.

step 7 of 11

Using Color Balance and Brightness & Contrast I color matched the nose.

step 8 of 11

Using the clone tool on a separate layer, I used the texture of the frog to go over the nose. I was careful to create the correct shape so that it didn't look flat.

step 9 of 11

I copy/pasted the frog's mouth so as to obtain the lower lip texture. I then warped this to the shape of the new lower lip.

step 10 of 11

Using the layer mask, this was also blended in.

step 11 of 11

To finish I sharpened the image, made some color adjustments and added a photo filter.
