I would like to take a photo of me and just have my head in the entire photo, 8x10 to put on a stick like those novelty things. I used to know how to do it but since I have not done it for awhile I have lost the knowledge.

any help would be appreciated.

thank you

Are you starting with a headshot?

If so you may need to adjust your image size (menu Image >Image Size) to get the size you want. You may also need to select the head and make a mask from the selection (menu Layer >Layer Mask >Reveal Selection) to remove any unwanted background.

Its not a head shot but I know I can use the quick selection tool to isolate the head and reveal selection and that as far as I go. I don't know how to fit that so it fills up the page when I print.

Hi
Use the crop tool to make the image fill the canvas.

Hi Thomas.

Are you talking about a cut out head with a white background?

Do you have an image of yourself to work with?

What pixel dimensions does the head shot need to be?

Not really. the background will get cut out.

I want to take my photo,enlarge the head so it fits on a 8.5 x 11 photo paper. so the head is the only thing in the photo because I will be cutting it out and putting it on a stick. My head on a stick.
