Face Swap

This is a screenshot of a Photoshop project in which I swapped my face with that of the woman from Gustav Klimt’s “Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I.” I chose this painting because I am a fan of Klimt, and because Adele is very pale, so I thought matching our skin tones wouldn’t be too difficult. I took samples of both her skin and mine, the used the “curves” feature to manipulate the RGB settings in my skin until the two samples were the same. I then used that sample to make my whole face match Adele’s skin, then cut and pasted my face on top of hers, using the transform tool to make our faces line up. Lastly, I got rid of the edges in the layer with my face, then used to polygon lasso tool to take parts of her skin and put it on mine, making it look like my face was painted. This screenshot is probably pretty close to the finished product (if not the actual finished product). I might try to add in more texture from the painting, but other than that, I should be done.
