First in this series will be a tut on using the Vis Mask to replace parts of one photo with another. Particularly useful for replacing heads. Used like this the Vis Mask behaves as a normal layer mask with no anomolies.
Later I will show how not to use the Vis Mask but I thought it best to start with something positive.
First the canvas has been prepared. The main image is on a layer. Lakshmi. Siva's head will be superimposed. First of all the cropped out head was sized to the correct size and position using the transform tool. and leaving the image with reduced opacity so you can see what you are doing.
Now you will see that the Siva head does not fill the layer. This can cause a problem with the vis mask so it is best to fill the rest of the layer with something. In this case I used white.
