Fotomix - Tutorial 2: Face swap with brush up

This tutorial shows how the boy's face was inserted onto the Jonas CD cover.
To start, we import Jonas as the background and the boy as the foreground.

Foreground


Background

In the foreground we erase everything around the boy's face.
We then move to the Composition Page, make the boy 50% transparent, just so that we can see the background underneath, and move and size so that the features of the two faces matches as good as possible.
Being satisfied with the boy's position, we use the eraser to erase the boy some more and thus bring out the hair.
After setting the transparency back to 0%, we have the following image. 
Obviously, this is not good enough. The color of the two skins are the problem.
This we fix in the Touch Up Page.
We decide to cover the left ear with some hair using the Clone Brush.
We set the clone position to the hair a bit above the ear, and just draw on the ear and cover it with some heir from the clone position. 
To change the color of the neck and the right ear, we use the Tint Brush.
We select the Tint color from the boy's face, and just draw carefully on the neck and the ear.
The final image:

That's all. Easy done. FotoMix did the job.
Finally, that clever boy used FotoMorph and created a small animation for his sister :)
