caricatures

Can photoshop be used to replace elements of an image with imported elements, a la an
identikit-like program? If, say, one had the photo of a dog, could photoshop be used to replace the dog's head with that of a lion, caricature-wise? Thanks. Jaristo.

Replace a head - yes...
Caricature - would require some artistic skill...

Yes, and a lot og bitmap image editing program can do that Paintshop Pro (shareware), Gimp (Open source and free).

But you need to do it manally. Open the image with the lion on, and make a selection of what you want to copy over to the image of your dog. Copy the selected area and past it into the image of your dog. Press Ctrl+T to adjust the size and angle of the head of the lion. Harmoize the color cast and brightness of the two images. Lock for color casts in reflections and so on ...

Not sure what an "idnetikit-like" program is, but yes, Photoshop can be used to replace elements of all types in photographs. All you need are the elements and PS, and experience, and it can be easily done. There should be tons of tutorials on the Web with image composition techniques that you can use.

Identi-Kit is a system that law enforcement uses to create a sketch of a suspect using generic component parts (noses, eyes, hair, etc). Earlier incarnations used printed cardboard pieces or transparency overlay. Current incarnations are done with software.

Hey, I might have pasty white skin, squinty eyes, Vitamin D deficiency, and a permanent depression in my couch, but at least I knew what Identi-Kit is. ;)
