Hilarious : Face Swapping / Facebombing




Ohh yeah... Again and again I find it very amusing when I find a similar picture on the internet.
For those who may not know yet : The procedure that happened in this picture, is also known as Faceswapping or Facebombing. You simply switch the face of one or more individuals with one that looks really funny (e.g. if someone's grimacing) and the best part of it is, that all of this can be easily achieved by using modern picture editing software like Adobe Photoshop.




I assume the best material for face swaps are photobombed pictures. What that is ? No it has nothing to do with real bombs! You may know it : You want to have a picture taken of you and someone special in order to document an important day in your life and later when you check the picture at home, you suddenly realize that there is a drunk bloke in the background. And that's exactly what you call a Photobomb. Someone somehow "ruined" your picture by standing in the wrong place.

Here is an example :
















Well , the reason why I write about this probably well known topic is, that it is not hard at all to create such pictures by oneself. The good thing is that the internet is full of images that can be used for faceswaps.

That's why I think I am going to post my very own tutorial on how to do face swapping in Adobe Photoshop just for fun :-)
