I decided to start with the head, because that would the most difficult part of the image.
Using the path I created to make a selection, with a feather radius of 0 and anti-aliased selected (this goes for any selection I make with a path), I copied her face into a new layer and moved it around 30 pixels to the left (image 6). Now you can see why I decided to do the head first. The lock of hair had to go!



Of course, some careful cloning, using a variety of opacities, and healing, got rid of those pesky hairs and shadows (image 7). Still, it took quite some effort to do it right. Next step was an extra layer of flesh colored airbrush, some layer masking on the left and highlighting/darkening parts of the edges with the dodge and burn tools (image 8).
