This is about Photoshop software, PC based.  \n\nSecondly, How can I clearly copy or capture a patricular person's head from an image, to be placed or paste on other neck's body?

In Photoshop, you want to create a clipping path. Google "clipping path" and you'll get plenty of tutorials.

http://www.gimp.org/\n\nThe Gimp is one popular freeware image editor. It's not as powerful or intuitive as the most popular software, Photoshop, but it's a few hundred dollars cheaper :). Alternatively, you can get Photoshop illegally, but I won't dwell on that. Either way, you may find either program difficult to manage if all you've had experience with is MS Paint, but there are many tutorials available online (and included in the software, even) that can help you get started. I don't know of anything simpler, sorry.

What you want to do is called cropping or scaling the image. \n\nCropping clips the edges off the image making a headshot instead of a full body shot for example. Scaling shrinks or expands the image (possibly reducing quality) while maintaining the entire image. Any image editing software or Painting program should be able to help you do this.\n\nWindows Explorer's My Pictures Folder in Win XP and Vista has a previewer that lets you do this. I believe older versions of Windows use the Kodak Image Capture Accessory app. You can also do this using Microsoft Paint (comes with Windows), Corel Draw, Corel Painter, GiMP, Adobe Photoshop Elements, Adobe Photoshop, PhotoPaint, ACDSee, or Paint Shop Pro.\n\nOn a Macintosh you can do it using OS X's built in Preview.app (it's the simplest) or in iPhoto. You may also be able to do it using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop Elements, Mac GiMP, Seashore, and the famous Graphic Converter!\n\nOn Linux or a Unix platform or similar system try GiMP or possibly several other apps though GiMP has the lead and is multi-platform so if you learn it once you can use those skills anywhere. It tends to be able to do most anything Photoshop can do while being open source (aka free).\n\nThese are just a few examples of apps that can do this as well as meet hundreds of other image editing needs.

If you want a free software, you can try Photoshop Album Starter Edition - does few simple tricks. \ncheck out here: \nhttp://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopalbum/starter.html\n\nHowever if you want serious effects (ex. if you want to put shadow around you once placed yourself on the other picture, effects, etc), you need to get a better program. I use Photoshop CS, you can do it all with it. However it's not free.

Some sites don't allow u to copy the contents. So, if u really can't copy, then there is a roundabout way. \n\n1. Open the web page and make sure that the picture is visible.\n2. Press PrtScr(Print Screen) key on ur key board.\n3. Open any image editor (like Paint brush) \n4. Press Ctrl+V (Paste) or choose Edit->Paste Option\n   The entire screen content u can now see in the image editor.\n5. Now, Select the portion of the screen(the image) and press Ctrl+C (Copy). Now ur image is in clipboard.\n6. Select File -> New. \n7. Press again Ctrl+V (Paste) option. Now, u will be having only the image of ur interest.\n8. Save it as .bmp or .jpg image. (File->Save)\nNow, u can use the image as any avatar.

If you have enough hair to start with you can use the clone tool to add hair.  \n\nOf course, you can't make something out of nothing.  In such a case, you can \n1. create a special brush that can simulate hair.\n2. cut the hair off someone else and paste it onto the guys head.\n\nAdding convincing hair is very difficult unless you are a seasoned Photoshopper.

FREEWARE IMAGE EDITORS\n\nPhotoPlus 6.0\nhttp://www.freeserifsoftware.com/software/PhotoPlus/default.asp\n\nPhoto Filtre\nhttp://www.photofiltre.com [English edition --> Downloads]\n\nABOUT YOUR SITUATION\nWhat you're asking *might* be done, but requires some skill-- plus, it depends on how badly the words you'd like to remove/ replace are overlapping everything. You'd have to use an image editor to erase the pre-existing text, then use the text tool to add new copy. However, it's a tricky situation. The problem isn't adding your own words to the picture; it's erasing the ones that are already there, without messing up the background.\n\nYou see, if letters you want removed are overlaying a picture, you will have to find a way to erase them without altering the background. The only possible way is to use the "cloning" tool of an image editor. The cloning tool is a special type of tool where you can copy pixels from one area of a photo to another area, in case you have gaps that you want to close. It's used like a paintbrush, except instead of painting with color, you are painting with nearby pixels. The purpose of the clone tool is to cover your tracks when filling in the gaps or erasing the defects in a photograph.\n\nThe cloning tool might help you with erasing the words without messing up the background. But it depends on which areas of the picture that the words are overlapping. If the words are overlapping areas that are large blocks of color or a repetitive texture/ pattern, you might have luck with it. However, if the words are overlapping areas where there is a lot of intricate detail, you will not be able to use the clone tool; you will have to use the airbrush tool to airbrush them out while at the same time filling in the background. That means you will have to have super painting abilities to do this.\n\nI can't see the photograph to tell you how well you will be able to do what you asked, so you will have to use your judgment in deciding whether it can be done.\n\nGood luck.

There is nothing great available (freely/cheaply) for consumers.\n\nThere is professional software that you can buy (I looked into it a while ago) but it is in the 10's of thousands.  If you're still interested (ha ha) then let me know and I'll google it a bit for you.\n\nIf you're looking for a holiday, get a plane ticket to Toronto to visit the Ontario Science Center and their 'aging machine'.\n\nAlternatively, I saw a few place on the internet where they would morph your features a bit like the one below

Make one yourself.  Use MS Paint or if you're really feeling fancy, Photoshop.  Of course, then you'll have to host it somewhere...

You have to find two pictures that have the same lighting and probably around the same color of skin if you want a picture that can fool anyone. Next you would need to know how to blend really well! \n\nI have been photoshoping for about 2 years and i still can't make one right.

In order for it to look fairly decent you need a real photo editing program...not Paint...and probably nothing that comes with your computer for that matter. lol\n\nI prefer Adobe Photoshop (or the cheaper, Adobe Elements), but you can use Paint Shop Pro too.  There is a free alternative, Gimp.  Never used it, but it's suppose to be a free version of Adobe Photoshop.\n\nJust use the lasso tool and cut out the head of the person and paste it as a second layer ontop of the base image (Layer 1--or the Background).  Or you can use the eraser tool by putting the picture of the person's head as the second layer and erasing everything but the head.  You can rotate the 2nd layer around so it lines up nicely...and you might need to resize the layer too so that it's proportioned correctly.\n\nJust look for tutorials online...cause the whole program can't be explained here. ;)  (http://pixel2life.com is a good site)

you might be able to find a low cost version of paintshop pro.  there is a tutorial below that describes how to convert a photo to a cartoon.  the tutorial is risque, though nothing you wouldn't see in a museum.\n\nsome video games include character-creation utilities that allow you to develop an in-game character that could become an avatar with an edited screenshot.  games in my collection that include this capability are:\n\nhoyle board/puzzle games\nthe movies\nthe sims2\ntiger woods pga '04\n\nof these, the most realistic was achieved with the tiger woods game.  maybe if i played more in the movies...
