Mornin' all,
I need to comp someones head from a colour photo on the head of someone from a 1960s, grainy black and white photo.
This will obviously require desaturating the colour image and adding grain, as well as matching the skin tones of the two faces in black and white.
While I could do a reasonable job of this now, it would be useful if anyone can point me to a good tutorial on this. Most importantly about matching skin tones across two images.
Any help would be appreciated!

use your selective colour palette. Easiest way to match IMO

Ok, so the image is now looking pretty good, even though it's b&w I've adjusted the colours so the two heads fit together.
The one thing that would improve the image is that the original 1960s images has really fat grain. I need to recreate this in the new head I've comped on.
I've added a bit of grain through photoshop filters but the grain is not fat enough. Any ideas who to make big fat grain in photoshop?

If I was wanting to fatten my grain, I'd get a pixel width for the fat grain, then make a new document filled with normal photoshop noise and scale up its size appropriately, then move this noise layer over to the comp.

thanks nairn, that's pretty ,uch what I did in the end, with the help of choosing 'large grain' from the grain type menu in PS.
Thanks everyone, it's all finished now and looks grand.

any white areas you could grab it from in the picture, try layering it over on a multiply mode? just a wild random thought, no idea if it would look convincing...

You have a 'large grain' option?
It really is time I upgraded.
