New face is lassoed and ready to fit onto skater's photo
step 4 of 9
New face is rotated and scaled to same size as skater's, then some color changes and brightness/contrast adjusted to match skater's colors and brightness.
step 5 of 9
New face is moved into place and opacity (on layer window) is lowered to 50% so that area to be trimmed away is more easily seen. Eraser tool is used to do trimming.
step 6 of 9
Hip area is too large, so is resized using cloning tool, bringing some of the pine branches to trim away some of the shirt and pants. Edge of clothes then must be smudged and cloned to clean up the edges of clothes.
step 7 of 9
Arms seemed too long and whole body size still too big, so distort tool resizes the body. From a duplicate copy of the layer before distorting, the face is lassoed with magnetic lasso, then set over the resized body. Edges of face are merged using soft eraser tool.
