Intro: Floating Head Collage

This is Halloween! This is Halloween! The most creepy day of the year is just around the corner! If you don’t have a costume, you can scare people online. And by this, I mean spooky photos on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and so on. How about a missing or floating head? Today I will show you how to do it with the help of Movavi Photo Editor.

STEP 1: Preparation

What you will need:

  • The software: https://www.movavi.com/photo-editor/
  • A photo that fits this idea. Pictures of you lying on the floor, sitting on a bench or standing with a stretched arm will work best.
  • A little bit of patience

STEP 2:

Go to the tab called Copy/Paste. Select the head using the Lasso tool. Copy the area and paste it, nicely placing the head next to the body. Add a shadow and adjust the blur to make it more realistic.

STEP 3:

Go to the Object Removal tab. Use Brush, Lasso, or Magic Wand to select the head once again.

  • Brush freely selects objects
  • Lasso selects the object by tracing the outline
  • Magic Wand selects areas of the same color

Click Start Erasing and wait a little bit.
The removal won’t be perfect if the object is too big. That’s why we will cover the artifacts with the help of the Stamp tool.

STEP 4:

You’re almost done! Enhance the Halloween atmosphere by adding one or two filters. Click Effects and choose the one you like. For instance, I used Méliès from the Retro collection.

That's it!

The tools from the instruction can also be used to make any other creepy collages - a missing limb, multiple heads, eerie clones, and so on. Good luck and happy Halloween!
