To move hair in Photoshop, you can essentially swap hair from one image to another by using selection tools and layer masking.
Here's a breakdown of the general process:
-
Open both images in Photoshop: Place the image with the hair you want to move and the image you want to add the hair to in the same Photoshop document as separate layers.
-
Select the Hair: Use a selection tool like the Quick Selection Tool to select the hair you want to move. Ensure you also select a portion of the forehead or surrounding area for a more natural blend.
-
Create a Layer Mask: After making the selection, create a layer mask from the selection. This will hide the unwanted parts of the selected hair, leaving only the hair and the part of the forehead you selected.
-
Move and Adjust: Move the hair layer over to the other image and position it as desired. Use the Transform tools (Edit > Transform) to scale, rotate, and warp the hair to fit the new head shape and perspective.
-
Blend the Hair: Refine the layer mask and use blending modes to better integrate the hair with the new image. You can also adjust the color and lighting of the hair layer to match the original image using adjustment layers.
