"Now let's continue with our photo manipulation. As we can see here I've got both pictures one on top of the other and as we see we're going to have to actually resize this Natalie Portman so she fits somewhere close to the same way Genevra's face is like so. So, this is pretty close. This is a pretty close scale. Now what we're going to do is we're just going to go ahead and cut. Go ahead and hit enter to get out of our edit mode here. We're going to go ahead and cut her face out using the lasso tool and I'm just going to go ahead and press L to get my lasso tool and actually I'm going to use a different lasso tool. I'm going to click on the polygon lasso tool. I'm just going to come over here and I'm going to actually edit and keep some of her face size here. That can be her jaw line because Natalie has a very defined jaw line that is not the same as Genevra's. I'll just go ahead and take the whole face and head. That will work for me. There we go. There's our selection there. What I'm going to do is I'm going to hold down shift - command - I to inverse the selection. And I'm just going to go ahead and I'm going to hit delete and there we go. We've gotten rid of everything except her face. So, let's stop here and we'll pick this up in the next part."
