I thought I'd whip up a quick tutorial of how to do this sort of stuff. Click on the links for the full-size pic. First we load up the pic to Photoshop and the PSD file with Jojo's head. Then we duplicate the layer with his head onto the new pic.

This makes it easier to scale the head to the proper size and get it lined up correctly.

| Okay. I have the lasso tool down. The only problem is, the area inside it disappears on me as I draw around the part of the pic I want to save. Any suggestions? I'm trying to do exactly what DVD did. I want to add a co-workers head to a certain well used pic of Peter Pan!!! |
