[QUOTE="_humfy, post: 114272, member: 11044"] It's easy to do, however, I may be struggling to explain it properly!... Open a new blank page in Photoshop with a decent resolution and set the background to transparent. Then open the file with the "new head" - i.e. the one you're going to superimpose on (I'll call it) the "original image". Drag and drop the "new head" onto the transparent page and then zoom in on it. Use the erase/ rubber tool to accurately delete the unwanted background. Probably works best with the sharp edged brushes, but depends how much of the head your using I suppose. Once you have cleared the unwanted background and have the "new head" on its own, lassoo it, copy it and then paste (or drag and drop) it onto the "original image". It will "float" on a new layer, so you can easily reposition it. You can then scale it, rotate it or what-have-you, alter the colour balance/ hue saturation/ levels etc for the perfect result, position and scale. Using the smudge/ blur tool will help to blend it better. Hope this makes sense! Works great for me as I tend to find that using the lassoo tool on its own tends to leave fairly raggedy edges.
