Photoshop help needed please

[marino420td]

One kid was not able to attend our last baseball game but I need him added to the team photo. I had an adult stand in for him and now I need the kid's head to replace the adult's head. And I don't know how to do it and make it look natural.

Here is the destination photo.

The adult in the back row that does not have a hat on needs to be replaced with a kid in the photo below

He's the second player from the left in the back row (not counting the two coaches who are wearing shorts)

If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it. I can email the large jpegs or even RAW images if needed.

Thanks.

Did I get the right player?

I think you were supposed to replace the coach 3rd from the left in the back row with the kid. Looks like the player he wanted in there though.

My try at this. Would be nicer with a full res image.

You got the right player but you were supposed to replace the dude in the back left without a hat on But yours is good, heh.

Well... I didn't feel like replacing someone's head with someone's head, so I just inserted him there..lol

FIXED! I even removed the distracting light pole! :lol:

thats really good XTM!

Yeah, the team photo with the missing kid was taken on a sunny day. That's why we decided to take another one. Unfortunately, he could not make the new date. So we will have to live with one squinty kid. Honestly I don't think any non-photographers will pay that close attention.

Guys, thanks for your willingness to help. I knew I could count on my RC friends.

dont want to be too much of a critic but the kids "chin shadow" is off. Try a little dodge brush maybe at 25% opacity? looks pretty good though.

And my staff gives me grief when I push the color of a fish a bit, or dither out a scuff mark on the tank glass! I love PS (grin).

I would take a picture of just the kid with his uniform in more favorable light. Try to replicate what it should like in camera, then it will be MUCH easier to swap.

photochop should be added as a new word to the dictionary, just like octomom.

Unfortunately it isn't yet, so you can't look up the proper spelling?
