Learning Activity
Choose a partner. You will share your photo with your partner (You CAN share with more than one person in the class).
● In this assignment you will merge/morph some of your partner’s facial features with your own.
● For example, you can use the most appropriate selection tool to cut your partner’s mouth from their photo and paste it into a separate layer on your photo.
● Use the various tools to blend in the selected facial features that you paste into your own photo. (Healing Brush's, Stamp Tools).
Tips:
● Changing the opacity of a layer might help to blend in certain features (especially the nose).
● Merging the layers will allow you to blend them together with such tools as the Stamp Tools or the Heal Tools.
