Civil War Vampire Photo

The latest rage is finding an old U.S. Civil War era photo and seeing that the subject bears a remarkable resemblance to some famous person alive today.  

Well, I submit to you this concrete evidence that the Chief Executive Ibler,  Autodeskible Director of Community is indeed a vampire...

I don't think you can take pictures of vampires but that doesn't explain that they live forever...

I was posessed to do this ible for some unknown reason...oh yeah, the awesome swag you can win in contests.

Step 1 Photo edit

The only thing you need is some base photos and some photo-editing software.  

I used GIMP as it was "free" and I sorta worked with it before.  Other packages will have similar commands or functions.

I am sure there are more advanced techniques to do what I am going to do but essentially I will cut and paste a face and superimpose it on a new photo.  Blend it in to fit and give it the old photo look with a built in "old photo" filter script.

Select the photos you will use.

The base photo is black and white.  I just pulled a photo from the internet.  Honest Abe is always a willing subject.

Find another photo to use for the face.  It should be the same pose so it will be easier to match the subject.  Look for the face looking in the same direction and maybe the same lighting.

Pull both the pictures into GIMP.
