Is it possible to change genders in photoshop?

a frieend of mine has been trying to make robert pattison look like a lady. so far, she hasnt done much as she finds it difficult. the hair looks demented (no offence to anybody) (the hair doesnt look like it has just been brushed.), the skin of r-patt is paleish,tannish (tryin to make it tanned), and the breasts look like its been stuck on. any advice?Is it possible to change genders in photoshop?
Try approaching from the other direction. Instead of trying to bolt on a thousand parts to make him look like a girl, find a picture of a girl in approximately the same pose with approximately the same lighting, and try to make her look like him. (ie exchange faces)





For skin tone, copy her face into a new layer. Then set that layer to only show on top of the layer containing his face (it's called a clipping mask in photoshop 9) Then set the coloured layer to have a blending mode, try something like ';color'; or ';overlay'; or ';multiply';. You'll probably need to touch up this layer to make it fit his face a little better.





Then blending it all together is up to you, but at least you're starting from a mostly consistent place, it mostly fits, just needs you to fill in the rough edges.





Using this technique, in about ten minutes I took these

It will still need work, but at least nothing looks bolted on, it should be a better place to start from.Is it possible to change genders in photoshop?
