How do I paste a different face onto an existing image

Putting a persons face on another persons body is easy.

You just import the face image and move it over the other face. That's it.

Making it LOOK like the face belongs there and is not just pasted on top is another matter.

The first thing that you want to do is to erase the area around the face that should not be in the picture. Use the eraser tool with a soft edge and feather away the edges of the face so that they will blend in with the image underneath.

The next thing that you want to do is adjust the size (by scaling the image) and the angle (by rotating the image) until the eyes match up.
I find this the easiest way to get the size of the face right, by concentrating on how far apart the eyes are compared to the image underneath, and rotating the image to make the eyes match will put the face at the same angle. You may want to adjust the transparancy a little so that you can see the face underneath while you work. You can change it back when you have it the way you want.

After that, adjusting the color and the contrast to get the new face to resemble the old one and you've just about got it done.

Have fun!

I seem to be having trouble with the most basic of these instructions!  i.e. Importing the other picture. When I select File>Import - the options I get are

Screen Capture which switches to IE if I select
Custom Brush
TWAIN Acquire
TWAIN Source

Should I be selection the option from somewhere else

Thanks

wisemat - I appologize for taking so long to get back to you.

It seems that I have a very old copy of Corel Paint and I'm afraid that any steps that I tell you will be inaccurate.

Please withdraw your question as being unanswered and reposting it.

Chances are good that some other "expert" can give you more solid step-by-step directions.

find out how to remove an object from it's background, and then paste this object on to your picture.

send them to me and i'll do it for you. :-}
