We're track stars! How to switch out heads on images with PicMonkey.

But with PicMonkey you can pretty much pretend you're a track star.  Or whatever else you want to be.  It's really easy.  Here's how you can use PicMonkey and the Overlay tool to add your head, or someone else's head. . . or feet or hands or anything, to an image. 

First I opened up the image I wanted to use.  The lovely track stars. Then I added a cropped image of just my head as an overlay.

Then I switched to the eraser option and started erasing away everything but my face.  And some of my hair.

I used the sideways flip button thing (probably not what it's really called) to have her looking the other way.

Then I positioned her head and touched up with the eraser tool.

And then I saved this image:

Then I re-opened the saved image into PicMonkey and changed it into black and white so that the skin colors wouldn't be so obviously different.  And also cloned out some of "Emily's" brown hair so that just her blonde hair was showing.

Tada!!

We're track stars.  And you can be, too.

Also I used the same techniques when I put my face on the face of Lady Mary when I wrote about how you can pretend you live in Downton Abbey.
