The Wiz

I thought it would be fun to make a composite image using my face, and three friends, on top of classic movie character, from The Wizard of Oz.
For each of the transfers, I had to open each person's head (image, that is!) and create a duplicate layer. I then deleted the original, and erased the background of each image. For the tin man's face, I had to take it one step further and adjust the saturation, to make his skin grey.
I then selected each of the heads and pasted them as new layers on the character image. For each individual layer, I adjusted the opacity to 60%, so I could better align the images. I also scaled the images to fit, and then erased whatever was left over.
Knowing how to create a composite image is a pretty neat skill to have, since you can make it appear as if you are someone, or somewhere, that you really aren't!
Although, I hope people do not abuse this skill...
