CUsing your Own Photos in the Fusion Room
Since you can copy any feature from an imported photo into the
FUSION Room, you’ll probably want to add features from people you
know. Almost any photo with a face in it can be useful in the FUSION
Room. Here are some tips for using photos:
• Images that have straight-on face shots make it easier to find
features to clone.
• Photos with little or no background make cloning just the
facial components easier.
• When you’re using a full body shot, you’ll need to use the
Resize tool to make facial components bigger. Don’t be
surprised if you lose image quality when you resize the
features. That’s just the price you pay for image editing.
