- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
I've been messing around with Elements and one thing I'm having fun with is switching peoples' heads (pasting Aunt Tillie's head on Jessica Simpson's body, for example).
My problem is this: Often, the lighting in the two photos I'm combining is very different, so the skin tones are nowhere near the same.
I've monkeyed around a bit with the lighting and coloring settings, with limited success. What I think I need is some way to blend the two layers together so there is not such a hard edge.
Feathering? Blur tool? Smudge tool?
Seems like one of these might help me, but I can't figure out how to utilize them when two different layers are involved.
Thanks a lot,
Jon
