Can someone help me clone this out?

I did a photo of a big family today and it was hard as hell to find one that had everyone with thier eyes opn/looking at camera. This one is the best I found (of this background) but it has some kid in the back playing football.

Can someone help me clone him out?

Do you have one that has the background you could use in there?
And one you can use to swap heads on the baby?

Now you need to layer them and mask. I know you think I am being a smart ass, but I am not. This is the best way for you to learn.

Open your main image as well as the other two. Copy and paste the other two into your main image putting your main shot on the top layer, baby in the second layer and background in the third. Make the top layer semi transparent so you can align for the baby, then go back to full opacity.
This is what I would do:
TURN OFF your top layer-image layer. On the baby layer Mask out everything but the baby's head on that layer. Turn back on your top layer and mask out the baby for the head swap.
Then move to the ear/football player. You are going to have to zoom in CLOSE and use a medium hard brush for part of it. Mask away!

whenever I mask it just colors black or white, how do I make it actually mask

Good for you! THe first ones will take a little while, but as you get going it will be quick and easy. Just takes a minute to learn!

Thank you Leek. I use PS a lot, but not good with layers. I am going to try this in the future. Writing it in my book. Layering is my weak spot.
