Could someone tell me how to layers in photoshop. I want to erase a face and put my dogs face in that area.?

Answer 1

OK, hope I can explain this well...open two files: your photo and the dog's. Look on your tool bar for a tool that looks like a cowboy lasso (kinda ovalish with a tail). Click on it...your mouse will become it...and outline the image of your dog's head by holding your rt clicker on your mouse. Make sure the ends of your outline connect. Release your rt click and you'll see a flashing dashed line around your dog. K, got it?

Next step: Go back up to your tool bar and click on the one that looks like an arrow...like your mouse pointer. Left click on your dog's outline with it. A little menu will come up...select "cut" or if it's an image, click the little clipboard one.

K, with me still...I know this is a little tedious...but you'll get it fine. Now, rt click on your first picture of yourself. Left click again, select paste....Bingo! There's your dog's head!

But waite! Not the right size/in the wrong location?? Ok, go back up to your tool bar. See the one that looks like a wizard's wand? click on it....go back to your doggie head, rt click on it...you get the dashed lines again (which simply means the cutout image is activated). Get your moving symbol off your tool bar...I think its either the arrow or another one....ooops, forgot. Anyways, the Correct one willl allow you to move your doggies' head into position. For enlargement, you gotta get the tool that looks like a square and pull or push the corners with your mouse to either reduce or enlargen it.

Whew...hope that helps! Good luck! ^^

Answer 2

Open the picture of your dog. Create a new layer by clicking on the post-it note icon at the bottom of the layers menu. You can also use command+shift+N (MAC) or ctrl+shift+N. Then open the picture with the face you want to use. Select the face (do you know how to select in PS?) and copy and paste it into the newly-created layer. Voila! Your masterpiece is pretty much done.

Answer 3

Its simple in photoshop... Open the two picture simultaneously. Select the portion of dog's face with selection tool like magnetic lasso tool and drag it to the destination photo, Photoshop automatically creates a new layer and paste it to the destination. Position it with the help of arrow key in keyboard.
