Howdy :-)

I know this question probably has a longer, more complicated answered than possible in this forum, nevertheless, here goes.....

You have 2 pics
Want to merge a friends head into the original pic, creating illusion they are in that pic
Obviously the main steps are easy - select head, copy, paste, transform, etc

Guess my question relates to lighting- REALLY making it look like its for real - not pasted from some other source, - whats the best way to do this ? Hope my question is clear

TIA

:-)

Hard to say without seeing the scans since every example is different. Most tutorials assume identical lighting and camera settings etc. In real time this will never happen unless you take multiple shots of a given group.
