Editing my face on Emma Stone in Photoshop

  • First, I found a picture of Emma Stone, where she was facing the same direction as the picture I had of myself.
  • Then, I created a clipping mask out of my head, and double clicked on the layer to refine it with the radius and smooth tools.
  • Then, I used the foreground (black) paintbrush when my clipping mask was selected, and “erased” the areas in between my hair and around my hair.
  • I made sure to rotate my head so that is looked natural on Emma Stone’s body.
  • I adjusted the color balance and highlights of my face and I used the burn tool to make Emma’s arms darker to match my face.
  • I added a very small drop shadow to my head to add the natural shadow under my hair and chin.
  • To erase the top part of Emma Stones head that was not covered by my head, I used the clone stamp tool to cover it with the curtains in the background.
  • I used the dodge tool to brighten my lips and I took the glare out of my eyes with the red eye tool. I then added some blue color to my eyes with the paintbrush tool.
  • Lastly, I used the spot healing brush tool to edit out some of the wrinkles in my face and some of the hair covering my face.
