hi this is Marty from Blue Lightning TV

0:00:12.750,0:00:23.430
I'm going to show you how to add animal

0:00:15.540,0:00:25.439
features to a human face I provided this

0:00:23.430,0:00:28.439
image of a tiger so you can follow along

0:00:25.439,0:00:31.009
it's link is located in the video

0:00:28.439,0:00:34.200
description or project files

0:00:31.009,0:00:36.540
choose a high resolution focused photo

0:00:34.200,0:00:38.879
of a person looking straight into the

0:00:36.540,0:00:42.090
camera I downloaded this one from

0:00:38.879,0:00:44.850
shutterstock.com we need to make a

0:00:42.090,0:00:45.510
selection just around the face to zoom

0:00:44.850,0:00:48.300
in closer

0:00:45.510,0:00:51.180
press Z on your keyboard to open your

0:00:48.300,0:00:53.550
zoom tool and drag a rectangle over the

0:00:51.180,0:00:56.280
area there are many ways to make

0:00:53.550,0:01:00.059
selections but for this example I'll use

0:00:56.280,0:01:01.949
the magnetic lasso tool I'll carefully

0:01:00.059,0:01:04.799
drag the tool over the edge of the

0:01:01.949,0:01:07.409
cheeks and chin and continue over the

0:01:04.799,0:01:09.930
hair the path over the hair doesn't have

0:01:07.409,0:01:12.240
to be that accurate once it connects to

0:01:09.930,0:01:14.790
the first anchor point it'll turn into a

0:01:12.240,0:01:18.960
selection to refine the selection over

0:01:14.790,0:01:21.689
the hair go to select and refine edge I

0:01:18.960,0:01:23.549
did an in-depth tutorial on refine edge

0:01:21.689,0:01:26.299
so I won't be going over all the details

0:01:23.549,0:01:26.299
here

0:01:28.810,0:01:35.280
check smart radius and increase the

0:01:31.750,0:01:40.100
radius to approximately seven pixels

0:01:35.280,0:01:40.100
brush over the hairline and release

0:01:41.960,0:01:46.909
and click okay

0:01:44.479,0:01:50.990
the quickmask instantly reverts to a

0:01:46.909,0:01:56.090
selection go to select and save

0:01:50.990,0:01:57.880
selection type in face and click OK or

0:01:56.090,0:02:01.310
press Enter or return

0:01:57.880,0:02:04.549
press ctrl or command D to deselect it

0:02:01.310,0:02:07.189
to see your save selection open the

0:02:04.549,0:02:10.190
channels panel if you don't see it go to

0:02:07.189,0:02:11.959
window and channels at the bottom of the

0:02:10.190,0:02:14.120
panel you should see a black and white

0:02:11.959,0:02:15.799
thumbnail of your shape with the word

0:02:14.120,0:02:18.530
face next to it

0:02:15.799,0:02:20.720
we'll be using this channel later open

0:02:18.530,0:02:22.790
your layers panel will make your

0:02:20.720,0:02:25.549
subjects face into a displacement map

0:02:22.790,0:02:28.250
which we'll use to wrap the animals fur

0:02:25.549,0:02:30.410
around your subjects face to do this

0:02:28.250,0:02:35.130
click the icon at the upper right of the

0:02:30.410,0:02:40.770
layers panel and click duplicate layer

0:02:35.130,0:02:43.440
click new and type in displacement then

0:02:40.770,0:02:45.720
click OK

0:02:43.440,0:02:48.030
since displacement maps look best when

0:02:45.720,0:02:54.810
they're slightly blurred

0:02:48.030,0:02:57.450
go to filter blur and Gaussian blur I'll

0:02:54.810,0:02:59.340
blur it five pixels however you may want

0:02:57.450,0:03:02.340
to use a different amount based on your

0:02:59.340,0:03:08.180
photos resolution then click OK or press

0:03:02.340,0:03:12.890
Enter or return go to file and save as

0:03:08.180,0:03:17.030
save it to your desktop as a PSD file

0:03:12.890,0:03:17.030
then click Save

0:03:17.350,0:03:20.820
and close the file

0:03:21.170,0:03:26.480
open the tiger photo I provided just as

0:03:24.380,0:03:29.150
we did for the person's face we need to

0:03:26.480,0:03:34.130
make a selection around it this time

0:03:29.150,0:03:36.910
I'll use the lasso tool draw a path

0:03:34.130,0:03:36.910
around the face

0:03:38.040,0:03:43.099
and go to select and refine edge

0:03:44.940,0:03:51.240
check smart radius and drag the radius

0:03:48.390,0:03:56.700
all the way to the right make the

0:03:51.240,0:03:58.880
contrast 20% and output it as a new

0:03:56.700,0:03:58.880
layer

0:04:00.370,0:04:05.110
let's make a selection

0:04:02.450,0:04:07.849
so we can add it as a separate layer

0:04:05.110,0:04:10.310
click off the eyeball of the cutout face

0:04:07.849,0:04:12.260
to hide it and click the thumbnail of

0:04:10.310,0:04:16.340

0:04:12.260,0:04:19.000
active open your zoom tool and zoom in

0:04:27.650,0:04:31.810
convert the selection into a quickmask

0:04:31.900,0:04:37.960
open your brush tool and use a small

0:04:35.140,0:04:40.900
size brush with an opacity of a hundred

0:04:37.960,0:04:43.120
percent carefully brush over the areas

0:04:40.900,0:04:45.670
around the whiskers until only the

0:04:43.120,0:04:48.730
whiskers are showing convert the quick

0:04:45.670,0:04:54.130
mask into a selection and as before go

0:04:48.730,0:04:58.960
to select and refine edge feather it

whiskers will fill the selection of the

0:05:10.090,0:05:15.250
whiskers with white and since white is

0:06:35.260,0:06:40.720
itself with the features of the person's

0:06:37.240,0:06:43.030
face drag the control points so the

your subject drag the control points at

0:06:46.450,0:06:51.340
