Question
Hi,

i was wondering if you can help, there's this quy at work, who sent an email to someone and basically told her i fancy her, and copied me in the email, as you can imagine it was very embarrassing.

i have a couple of pictures of him, and i wanted to basically put his body in someone's else's and send it to as many people as possible.

This might be childish to you but i want to get some revenge, if i give you the pictures, would you be able to using you photography equipment's and maybe catalogue of pictures, and edit program, to put his face in someone else's body? for example, you can put his head in a large woman's picture, she might be wearing just some underwear? i hope you get the picture, i just want to ridicule him.

obviously i'll be more that happy to pay for your service, i would do it myself but i dont have the editing programs or the imagination to be honest.

thanks

Wayne,

I don't have time to do photo projects for other people
just now.  The project you've described, whatever your
motivations :-), doesn't sound all that difficult.  You don't
need any expensive software to do it, either.  The Gimp
photo editor is quite sufficient, and can be downloaded
from here:

http://www.gimp.org/downloads/

There are tutorials on using Gimp here:

There are short explanations of doing what you want to
do, here:

I think you should let this desire to zing your co-worker
motivate you to learn a new photo editing skill.  Go for it!
