Hello, this Instructable will show you how to use the layers in Photoshop editing software to create a headless effect on the loved ones around you.


The process may look lengthy but it is simple to achieve by following these steps.

The tools icons are displayed in the accompanying photos.

I have also put extra information in the boxes on the  accompanying photos, such as tool location/ and function (click on them to read).


Additionally, all of the tools mentioned can be found in the help section of Photoshop.

I am using Photoshop on a Mac but the principal of layers is the same for all photo editing software that has it.

Three photographs were taken ( it is essential that a tripod is used or that the camera is held in a fixed position for the three shots.)

The shots were;

1-The girls standing with her arm outstretched.
2-The girl with her hand holding her head.
3-The background.

These images were opened in Photoshop and I have labelled them in red for clarity of explanation.
