Merging Different Faces
Merging isn't just for making panoramas. One of the Elements-only tools that Adobe in-
cludes is Faces, a fun (OK, let's be honest—silly) feature that lets you merge parts of one
person's face with another person's face. You can use it to create caricature-like photos, or to
paste your new sweetie's face over your old sweetie's face in last year's holiday photo.

shows an example of what Faces can do.
Figure 11-3. Faces is really just for fun. You can create composite images like this one, and then
use Elements' other tools to make the photo even sillier, if you like.
Although you'd be hard put to think of a serious use for Faces (it
may
work for something
like copying a smile from one photo to another image of the same person with a more serious
expression, but the result may not be top quality), it's fun to play with and simple to use:
1.
Choose the photos you want to combine
.
You need to have at least two photos open in the Photo Bin before you start. You can
Ctrl-click/
⌘
-click to preselect the photos you want to use.
2.
Call up the Faces window
