Tried my hand at photo manipulation

[tnyhwk900]

Went and saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (depp version) and saw why everyone was saying he resembled Michael Jackson.

So, I decided to do what everyone else was doing: Slap an MJ face on Depp. I think it turned out pretty good. I know the bottom left of the hat is a little off, and I'll fix that later.

The shades and tones on mj's face don't match the deepness of the colors on the rest of the photo. Mess with levels a little bit.

Wow, levels is pretty powerful. Thanks for the tip.

Better?

I know MJ has a gigantic forehead...but maybe move a little bit more of it under the hat. That, and the size of the head is just a tad bit to big. But other than that and the color levels good job.
