I did a search but could not find any how-to on this procedure. I have done it before but now need to match rotation and stretch the replacement face slightly to match the recieving (background) image.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I searched the tutorials before posting here but could not find what I was looking for. Perhaps I need to spend a little more time searching as I am unfamiliar with the site but I did try several phrases that I thought might work.

Let's see what I can find browsing the tutorials!

Hmmm,

Well I found a lot of interesting stuff but what I am looking for is not available via a direct link. The searches I tried were:

* ~Switch Face*
* ~Swap Face*
* " Head*

If I am missing something obvious, please let me know!

Ideally it would be better to make the face you want to stretch bigger then you need it and scale it down rather then up as stretching pixels is not the best thing.


For rotation and alignng I would use the EDIT TRANSFORM tool.First make a copy of your face to transform and turn the eye at the left off so we dont mess it up,then on your copy use the EDIT TRANSFORM ROTATE tool to rotate in to shape,from there I would try {not sure if it will work} the scale tool,and then SKEW or DISTORT tool and gently massage the features into the right position.


The skew tool might not be the best but if you change say just the dimensions on the left side of the face to fit then you just pull on the on the left handle.



Is this what you were looking for?.......if it isnt can you post an example for us to look at please so we can work out how to go about it.........oh ya welcome

Hi and welcome to the board CGalvan [righton]

Yes, welcome aboard CGalvan!

[confused] I'm not quite sure what you're looking to achieve, but with the obvious quesitions, having already been asked...I will keep my eye on this thread.

Welcome Carlos - Give us a litle more info and perhaps we can help [righton]

Voila!

The transform tool is exactly what I needed! (Thanks Kiwi.) Next time I will upload some images to show what I am trying to do.

Speaking of which I will now attempt to upload before and afters of what I have done. This is a picture of my wife son and myself that I may use for next years Christmas cards. If not it was a good learning exercise.

Thanks to all who gave input.

Great pic there Carlos - make an excellent Card [righton]
