The frog technique of the alligator head synthesized by PS

Animal change head is also wins. First need to find the right material, and then adjust the proportion of the head like a good, later the two colors unified, but also need to match the environment to increase the shadow, highlights and so on.

Final effect

1. First, open the Frog picture in Photoshop. Resize the image to 1024x768, resolution 72, label the Frog.

2, open this image alone. After removing the natural background, keep the crocodile head and use its transparent background eventually.

3, after opening, we need to remove the natural background, keep the crocodile head. There are many ways to cut the head of a crocodile. You can try the Magic Wand tool (w shortcut), but the natural background around the crocodile is fine, so a better way is to use the Eraser tool (e shortcut).

I use a round brush (different size), the hardness is set to 100%, no spacing. This will clean the crocodile's head around. It is recommended to enlarge the picture, clean the details, although the steps are time-consuming, but the final overall effect will be better.

4, this time you get a complete alligator head, copy the crocodile layer, paste it onto the frog layer above it, label the alligator head. You need to further try and adjust and use the Transform tool (Command/CTRL + T). You will find that there is still some work to be done, the crocodile's eye is visible, and the frog's color does not match.

5. Now, to have a general idea, how do we combine the two animals together and start matching. Using the Clone Stamp tool (s shortcut), we will try to remove the crocodile's eyes. When cloning, I tend to use soft brushes because it helps to mix clones more effectively.

Hold down the ALT key and select the skin in a similar area near your eye to cover your eyes. Now, we need to join the alligator's jaw line behind the frog's neck. Again, select the pattern matching the crocodile, and use the Clone tool area to fill out a suitable connection.
