wow. How do you do that?

Well, LadyS, it just takes practice and picking the right photos to chop, plus a little time and attention to details.

First, I didn't want to do a lot of work trying to dramatically change the skin tone, so I did a Google image search for "white rastafarian" and found this image:



Next, I did another Google image search looking to find a picture of Mark that had a similar angle to the face with a close color match and an appropriate expression.  This one seemed to be about the best one I could find without spending a lot of time searching, but I did have to go to the "more images" option to locate it:



Now, you'll notice that these two guys are looking in different directions so I flipped the top one horizontally to match Mark's direction.  The White Rastafarian pic didn't have any writing on it, so it wouldn't really matter.   (Sometimes when you flip the chopped face, it looks very different since most people's right and left sides are slightly different from each other.)

So, then all I had to do then was chop out Mark's face, place it over the flipped white Rastafarian's face, smooth out some edges and do a slight color adjustment to match better.

Yea, but, but but,... it doesn't work that way for me. How come the beard doesn't get screwed up?

Penna, you just have to trim the bottom of the face so it is as close to the beard as you can and then blend/smudge it.  Easy as pie but you just need to experiment and play around with it a bit.
