How can I put a picture of my face onto somebody's else's body using Paint?

I have always loved to do that I thought it seemed kinda funny to make yourself look like you had another body and I know how to do the basic stuff like cutting and pasting and stuff like that but can someone tell me how to do it and make it look realistic.How can I put a picture of my face onto somebody's else's body using Paint?
Doing that using paint, is like doing a plastic surgery using a dull and rusty butcher knife... Just about impossible. Paint is a really basic editor. You may be able to cut and paste the head over another body, but I don't think you can make it look natural, because paint just does not have tools for that. At best it will look like a head you cut off from one picture with scissors and glued it onto another with Elmer's glue...





You need an advanced photo editor, like Photoshop or Corel Draw or at least Gimp. The later is free and can be downloaded from http://www.gimp.org .





Then, it's really about a skill, just like you can't do a plastic surgery without training, you won't be able to just snap it on in gimp. What you need to do is carefully mark around the head on one picture, make the marking fuzzy (or soft, or whatever they call it, I'm not familiar with gimp), then copy it and paste in a new layer over another image, then adjust it so that it fits well, and mess with colors if needed to match the other image.





But the main thing - keep on trying. It really takes time to get good at it. So if at first it doesn't look the way you want - do not despair, try again and again, and at the end you will succeed.....

I'll come up with another clever analogy. It's like trying to measure the width of a human hair with a yard stick. Google GIMP, download it, and have fun doing real photoshopping.
