Can anyone please help me Im trying to turn this female into a male. But I can only find tutorial videos of how to turn a male into a female in photoshop. Can not find vise versa. I mean if anyone who responds knows how and offers online courses relating to this mtter I would have no issue paying a subscription. I just really want to figure this out and im kind of scared to try amaturally myself. I mean i have years expirence with photoshop but iv never changed the gender of another unless of a drawling. Iv never done it with the realistic mutiple color hue pixels that comes with doing a real life image.
I wouldnt know where to start of making the alternation look natural and realistic

I have no issue learning the software but that professional did the exact kind of alteration i was looking for, how am i supposed to know exactly how he got this
from my original image of this
Also i never wanted to have to come here because here is not tutorial videos, i tried to find a tutorial video of how turn a female into a male. there is not one single video oh but there is plenty of how to turn a male into a female. One does have to wonder of being of the LGBTQ community as a gay male. is this really a coincidence or is it because turning a female into a male does not attracted heterosexual men. But turning a male into female does attract heterosexual men. I really cant think of any other reason because the work of turning a man into a women is just same hard work and time consume of turning a women into a man. Also there is just a dominant amount of male to female videos. For me to think its a coincidence
OK, you apparently have a result that appeals to you.
Open the original image.
Click on the altered image in the thread to expand it, right click and choose Copy.
Go to the original image in Photoshop, click on the upper most layer and paste (Ctrl V — Cmd V)
You'll need to align the two layers. You could reduce the opacity of the top layer to 50% and try moving it into best position.
Another trick is to set to top layer;s blend mode to Difference. Pixels that are identical layer to layer will appear black, so move the top layer to get maximise the amount of black which will be the closest to alignment, like this.
Set the top layer's blend mode back to Normal.
Try turning the top layer off and on and look for what has changed.
What I have done here is to use the Pen tool to follow the outline of the modified face.
Then Ctrl click the path (in the Paths panel) to load it as a selection, and then used Edit > Stroke on a new layerchosing a bright colour and 1 pixel. That gives me the outline like this.
If you then turn the edited layer off to reveal the original, you can see how the shape of the face has been changed making it wide across the cheekbones and giving it a squarer chin.
If you are going to use Liquify to do this (which is the obvious tool) then I suggest working with a copy of the layer, and making a Smart Object. What this does is let you go back in to Liquify and do your fine tuning, and it is always like working on your first edit. You are less likely to get into a mess.
If you want to do it by numbers, these might be a start. Remember, if you make the layer a Smart Object, you can go back in and change those settings.
But the eyebrows are wrong and the eyes have makeup, so you'll need to composite or draw new eyebrows and eyes from another source.
Let's try this one:
Ctrl click the new eyebrow layer to select it. Ctrl C to copy.
Go to the lady image and paste with Ctrl V
The size and position will be wrong, so use Free Transform to adjust it
Let's look at the colour. Remember that adjustment layers only affect the layers below them in the Layer Panel, so position them accordingly.
We'll start by taking some of the pink out of the lady's face by placing a Hue Saturation Adjustment layer above the original layer.
Click on the dropdown where it says Master in the Properties panel, and select Reds (cecause we only need to reduce the reds in her face. Move the saturation slider to the left for best effect
I've added the other eyebrow so we can work on them together.
So I have selected both eyebrow layers, and Ctrl clicked on the Make Group icon at the bottom of the layers panel. (I've outlined it with green)
I tried using Colorize to match the eyebrow colour to the face but it was getting complicated, so I'll take a different route.
First of all we need to remove the eyebrows from the original, and that's also complicated because it is a Smart Object, so I am going to copy the Smart Object and rasterise it.
Select the eyebrows with the Lasso tool then use Edit > Content Aware Fill which will remove the eyebrows and create a new layer
Now go to the group with the new eyebrow layers, and double click it
This opens the Layer Styles panel. Scroll down to the Blend If sliders, and adjust to make the lighter tones disappear.
Note: the sliders are split. You do that by holding down the Alt key and dragging.
That has to be enough to get you started, and it has taken me well over half an hour to do this, so practice practice practice, and ask again with specific questions. That means no more 'Tell me how to be a world class Photoshop expert or I'll cry' and more more along the lines of 'how do I change the colour of a layer? type questions.
Good luck.
As I stated even in my first post I never said im entitled to free tuition you can literally see right there i said if any of you have a course avaiable with a reasonable monthly fee i would be more then happy to sign up. I know your time is valued which is why i never said free. But that professional responded back with not a course, just with an alteration of the original and he did it for free where i didnt even demand, so i figured well if you are able to do this alteration just like that could you please show me the steps of how you accomplished it, i never expected thou he would have done it, i literally was on the expection that sending this post you all would say oh sure! i offer this course for 20 monthly and one of my classes is gender swap, or oh sure this guy i worked with he does an online class with gender swap and its 15 monthly, i was literally trying to find a paid tutorial subscription as clearly stated in my post, but you all decided to message back with your versions of a female to male which was great but i needed to know how it was done, which is why i figured an online paid course would be great because then its already expected to have a full process break down of each segment. So i dont appreciate when the professionals here think im demanding for free help i never said that, again highlighted in blue i would have no issue PAYING FOR A ONLINE COURSE THAT ONE OF ITS SEGMENTS IS GENDER SWAP OF FEMALE TO MALE
Mixing 2 images should do the job…
A simple approach would be to use a frame animation and Tween the opacity to an overlaying layer positioned so that eyes matched positions etc. If that helps I'll give you some steps. It's honestly a very easy process.
It's not easy to give you a pat answer because there are an infinite number of male 'looks' so you'd need to be specific. I'm thinking you mean that if that particular female was a male, what would the differences be? A tool that might help you is to use a reverse image search.
Open Google Reverse Image Search and drag the female image onto it from Finder or File Explorer
Scroll down a bit and click on Visually similar images. You will initially find it concentrates on the 'big' hair and is not very useful
So take out the hair and try the same trick again
You;ll be looking for a result that strikes you as being in some way at least, masculine. My oppologies to this lady, but she has a touch of the Chris Martins (Cold Play) about her
So let's find some pictures of Chris, and compare
What do you see? Obviously whiskers.
Eyebrows are not carefully made up so you could composite those onto the female.
A square jaw and rougher skin texture.
The eye make up would be tricky to remove unless you composited the eyes from another image, but you'd be getting into a contentious area there because they are an important part of how we appear and look.
Some of this is not particularly easy to do well and would take time to become good at it, but the thing with practice is that you have to start somewhere and get on with it. If you have more specific questions about this, then try to be detailed and give examples. It would be helpful to provide higher res images as well (>1000 pixels or more).
