Just had a very quick play.

Higher res file would be handy.

 

[Alladin121]

wow that was quick, could you tell me how you did it?

 

[scottthehat]

heres a quick go, the little girl is abit small i will do another go if you like tom.

2nd effort

 

[Jimi]

I haven't a clue

Cut out the little boy from 'smiling shot' and pasted as new layer over the other picture. Cloned out the bag (very roughly) slightly sharpened the whole image. I am sure with the higher res file and somebody who is far more aquainted with PS could do a 'proper job'.

 

[Alladin121]

Thanks guys can anyone share how you did it?

Personally, I would do it the other way around. Cut the girl out of the first shot, paste her as a layer into the second shot and the clone/heal the bag handle.

Less messing around then, the shots seem to be almost the same perspective so I don't think it would notice too much.


If I were to use the first shot as the 'base', then I suspect all I would take is the mouth+1" (on his face, not the photo) from shot 2, then paste as a new layer into shot 1.
Then go to edit->transform, free transform. Use the tool slowly and adjust the area and shape of the mouth until the wrinkles fit.

Heres my version, probably similar to the others.

Yet another version - showing layers so you can see how it was done

You do not say what software you have but as everyone else has given you some ideas using Photo shop I thought I'd show you a way if you have Elements 6 onwards.

Use the group merge tool and select the two images and draw round the one you want to transfer and Elements will do the rest like so.

I then adjusted the image using the shadow & highlight tool

And finaly I used a contrast and brightness adjustment layer and a warm up filter layer in conjunction with a gradient on the layer mask to alter the contrast, brightness and warmth of just the little girl to match the boy.

Cloning out the handbag is optional.
