Introduction: 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!
