Animal Heads
Summary:
Have you ever seen posters or artwork where a human body has an animal head? In this Photoshop tutorial, we will learn how to take the animal head from one photo and put it on the human body of another photo.
Step-By-Step Instructions:
1. Open two photographs in Photoshop. One of a person and the other of an animal's head. For the purpose of this tutorial, we'll call the person photo "Person Photo" and the animal's head photo "Animal Head Photo".

2. Select the Polygonal Lasso tool and draw a selection around the animal's head in the Animal Head Photo.

3. Click Ctrl+C to copy the selection.
4. Go to your "Person Photo", then click Ctrl+V to paste the animal head onto a new layer.
5. If the animal head is facing the wrong direction as your person's head, then goto Edit > Transform > Flip Horizontal. It should then be facing the correct direction.

6. Click Ctrl+T to enter Free Transform mode. Use the shape handles to resize and move the head where it should be over the person's body.

7. Select the Eraser tool. Zoom in on the animal head and erase any background that got carried over from the previous photo.

8. You should now have a clean animal head photo overlapping the person's head in the lower layer.

9. Click the layer with the person on it, so that it is the active layer. This should be the layer below the animal head layer.
10. Select the Clone Stamp tool and clone stamp out any part of the person's head from the layer.

11. When you are done, you should have your new animal head over person photo image.
