We are now only working on the smaller file copy. (Here I need to add that I also like to enlarge my canvas size so that I have room to work - some of the latter pictures will show that).

Using the Raster Deform Tool (Edit/Transform/Perspective in Adobe...once it looks right, apply the transformation), alter the perspective of your recently pasted layer by pulling in the corners until the edges of the face line up with the original layer of the smaller version. Only alter the bottom of the layer...do not alter the perspective of the top of the head.

Now duplicate the background layer (Layer/Duplicate Layer in Adobe)and raster deform (as explained above) the perspective of the bottom of that layer too. This is how the chin, mouth and nose get smaller and more manga like.

Your image should now look something like this...


See the arrows along the edges of each layer? Now blend in the layers at these areas by alternately erasing at 9% opacity and smudging (on a new layer in PSP) (healing brush in Adobe) at about 45% opacity until the face and neck look seamless.

Now line up the strands of hair very carefully (I did this by using the warp brush in PSPv9...in Adobe use the liquify tool).
