I'm kind of still new to photoshop. But I was wondering how to do something. My girlfriend wanted me to put her face on a body of hello kitty. How would I merge the two images together and have it sitll look pretty good. I alreayd know it would look ridiculous but I do not want it to look awkward. Also I do not want to convert the real image into a cartoon. Rather I just want to put my girlfriends head on Hello Kitty's body.

Thanks alot

Make a loose selection of her head. Copy it then paste it into the other picture. Use Edit-transform to move and size it properly. Use the eraser to remove any excess.

There are literally hundreds of tutorials out there do a search & you will come up with something, as always there are so may different ways to do this in ps.

just make sure whatever way you choose that the colour tones/balance in each photograph are similar. it will save a lot of work when trying to make it look realistic.

I tried to do a search on google and everything, but each time the only stuff I could find was to convert the image to a cartoon. What is a loose selection?

Loose means not very accurate. But you can make an accurate selection if you wish.
