How Do I Photoshop a Head Onto Another Body?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 11:22 am

In this tutorial, we’ll learn how to Photoshop a head onto another body. We’ll start by finding a suitable image of a head, and then use the Clone Stamp tool to copy it onto the body.

We’ll use the Liquify filter to blend the head into the body, and then add some finishing touches with the Eraser tool. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll be able to realistically replace any head in a photo!

Step 1: Find a Suitable Image of a Head

The first step is to find a suitable image of a head. We need an image where the head is facing the camera, so that it will look realistic when we paste it onto the body.

Try to find an image with a similar angle and lighting as the body you’re pasting it onto. For this tutorial, I’ve chosen this image of actress Jennifer Lawrence:

Step 2: Copy the Head Onto the Body

Once you have your head image, open it in Photoshop alongside the photo you want to paste it onto. Use the Zoom tool to get a close-up view of the head, and then select the Clone Stamp tool from the Toolbox. Hold down the Alt key (Windows) or Option key (Mac), and click on an area of skin near the edge of the head.

Then, with the Clone Stamp tool selected, paint over the head to copy it onto the body. Try to line up the features as best you can. You may need to use different areas of skin as your reference point, depending on how big or small the head is.

PRO TIP: This tutorial is for advanced Photoshop users only. If you are not an advanced user, please do not attempt to follow this tutorial.

Step 3: Use the Liquify Filter to Blend In The Head

Once you’ve copied the head onto the body, go to Filter > Liquify. In the Liquify window, select Warp from the left menu.

Then, use your mouse to drag and push around different parts ofthe head, until it looks like it’s realistically sitting on top ofthe body. You may need to play around with this for a while to get it looking just right.
