Hey Guys and Gals...

I have a Brother-in-law that I am trying to get a picture/poster up for him. He is a big fan of Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum. Everyone of us has seen that image of Captain Morgan in his pirate outfit and hat.

Well, I got a picture of my brother-in-law and all I want to do is superimpose his face where Captain Morgan's face is. That's it.

I have Adobe Photoshop but I don't know how to cut out the face and put it over Captain Morgan's face. Could some Gators out there give me a hand?

Could someone either:

1. Just do this for me. (I can email the two images to you)
2. Or... could someone show me how to do this?

Thanks so very much!

Can you post both pictures so that we can give it a shot?

Aardvark...

Thanks so much for responding. Okay... bear with me... I have both pictures on my hard drive... but I don't know how to post them on Gator Country. Sorry.
How do I do that... Thanks for your patience.

I feel better knowing I'm not the only one who's computer skills are limited to cut & paste.

Here is a tutorial for one way to remove the background (or head) from an image.

this tutorial has asects of about everything you want to do in it. May be hard to follow if you arent that good with computers.

And oh yeah, if you want to put an image in here, you need to upload it to a hosting site like photobucket and then put the URL for it in here.

Wish I still had my photoshop program on this computer, would only take a few min to make you something decent looking.

Hey.... thanks for all the information. And thanks everyone for taking the time in assisting me on this. I will try and get the two images up on Photobucker, etc.
In the meantime... I will be checking out those tutorials!

If you get the pictures up, it should be easy enough to do. The most important thing is that the angle of your brother-in-law's face in the picture is as close to possible as the same angle in the Captain Morgan picture. If not, the body positioning will look "off". Here's some I did with my little brother (I had limited access of photos for him, so as you can see, they look a bit "off", since I was having to try to match the size and angle of Meyer's head).
