Basic Instinct 2 has shown us an ever young Sharon Stone. Still, how would she look a little more… aged? Not to say dead or even a zombie? Learn to change a skull for a head in a photo.

1.Using this capture from Basic Instinct 2, I’ll show you how to make a nice zombie/dead effect on Sharon Stone.

2. Search a good skull image.

3. Copythis second image and put it over the first picture. Set the blending mode to Normal - 55% Opacity to still see the face on the first image.

4. Press Ctrl+T, move the skull picture over the face, adjust it size to “enter” into the face, rotate a little and if you want to be more acurate use the perspective transformation.

Finally, you can modify opacity as it suites you (I recommend 85%).

5. Use the Erase Tool over the skull layer to loose the side borders of the skull that seem inappropiate to the view. Then desature both layers and you manage to put the skull into the face, but it still looks like an artificial effect.

6. You see that the skull picture hasits light coming from right-up and you have to counter-balance in order to make a natural effect. So, double-click on the second layer, select Gradient Overlay like that.

7. Layer > Flatten Image and you have only one image.Press Ctrl+B to use Color Balance. On Shadows and Midtones, drag the pointers to the Blue (+10 to +20) and Cyan (-55 to -45) and finally on Highlights move the pointers only towards Yellow (max. -25).

Now you succeded in giving a screening effect to the whole image.
