Photoshop F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 26 6:58 am)
Our mission is to provide an open community and unique environment where anyone interested in learning more about Adobe Photoshop can share their experience and knowledge, post their work for review and critique by their peers, and learn new techniques while developing the skills that allow each individual to realize their own unique artistic vision. We do not limit this forum to any style of work, and we strongly encourage people of all levels and interests to participate.

Subject: question about what this might be called
Head Switching is the general thought of what you're describing - even though you only mention the face specifically.
There are any number of books and places you can learn to do this well - I'd start with:
I've Got a Human in My Throat
http://www.amazon.com/Ive-Got-Human-Throat-Delusions/dp/1598630709/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1242385418&sr=1-1
There should be a link to "When Pancakes Go Bad" and Surreal Digital Photography" below as the "up-sell" Amazon always goes for.

Yes, I pimp this location big time - almost as though I own stock or something - but it's worth it. If you can afford it, get yourself a membership ($99 a year), which will get you a subscription to the magazine as well, and you will have so many tutorials available to you it'll make your head spin.
Any area in Photoshop you wanna learn, you will.
Hope this helps-

I recently took a class with Suzette Allen www.suzetteallen.com
She has over 60 Photoshop tutorials posted on Smart Shooter. You have to register (free) to see them. One is called Headswaps - the family portrait perfector and gives step-by-step instructions. www.shootsmarter.com
She also has some tutorials posted on YouTube. www.youtube.com/results
It's sometimes called "doctoring" or a "doctored" image.
Merriam-Webster OnLine dictionary definition of "doctoring" as appropriate to your question = to adapt or modify for a desired end by alteration or special treatment
The Photoshop surgical tools for doctoring are "Cut" and "Paste". LOL. Have fun.
