Video Transcript

"Hello, my name is Luis Estrada, and I am a software developer. In this video, I'll show you how to put a different face on a picture. I am using Adobe Photoshop CS2. Photoshop is a registered trademark of Adobe, a company to which I have no affiliation. We need to make a selection around the face we will copy. Select the magnetic lasso tool. Zoom in as much as you can to make the selection easier. Create a contour around the face by clicking once and moving the mouse. The magnetic lasso will try to best guess the desired selection. You can also click any time you want to add a new anchor point. Once you have your selection ready right click on it, and select Layer via copy. This creates a new layer that includes only your selection. Now, select the Move tool. Click and drag the face to the desired location. If you need to modify the face to make a better fit press control T on your keyboard. Now you can rotate it or resize it. Press Enter to apply changes, or Escape to discard them. To combine the two layer press Control E on your keyboard. Now, your image is ready to be saved. I am Luis Estrada, and I've just shown you how to edit your digital images."
