In this tutorial we will make a centaur using two pictures, one of a horse and the other is for a man for sure

First here are the two pictures:

1.Step.

Now start working on the background of the horse, that we have to take the horse's head off so we replace it later with the man.

So start by copying a part of the background

2.Step

Paste it, and then resize so it cover almost all the horse's head

3.Step

Now merger the two layers (the background piece and the horse photo)

After that use the Healing tool

And start healing the edges of the covered place, press Alt to select the area you want to fill from

And then start healing

That's what you should have (some areas i didn't heal so well because they're going to be coved by the man anyway)

4.Step

Now place the guy on his position

And use the selection tool, with 10 px of feather

To make a selection in the connection area between the horse and the man

And then delete about 4-5 times so you remove the edge and make the connection area look smooth

5.Step

Now we almost done, but you may notice some errors, like the color of the horse's neck doesn't fit the man's color, and the mouth of the horse at the back

6.Step

I'll just place a copy of the horse body over the mouth.

And use the healing tool to fix the color of the neck

Result: Centaur
