BASIC OVERLAY STEPS: Take a profile photo and find a cool background on google. The background should be a high resolution photo. Bring both photos into Photoshop. Next you will use the quick selection tool to cut out the head, EDIT/CUT and then paste onto the background photo. EDIT/PASTE. Then you might want to use EDIT/TRANSFORM/SCALE ( to make it smaller or larger) then place the head where you want it on the background. Do not forget to use the MOVE tool to move the head where you want it. You can play with opacity, lighting effects or even the eraser tool to get the effect you want.
