This is not printable.

You know it doesn't

Let's not waste our time with this photo. It's WAY too far out of focus.

May I see a closer view of it? https://www.damiensymonds.net/2013/09/grabbing-700x700px-100-crop.html

Sure! Can you show me your similar photo?

If you want to use this photo, you'll need to blur the front guy slightly, so he matches the back guy.

I'm so sorry @JessMaree, try replying now.

May I also see the other face for reference?

Stop wasting your time with that stupid function, period. Just mask it like a normal person. https://www.damiensymonds.net/2010/10/shift-while-brushing.html

It's because you're on a blank layer, yes?

Image Processor is really fussy. You have to have exactly the same versions of Photoshop and Bridge running. If you have the latest Bridge but not the latest Photoshop, or vice versa, it won't work.

Glad you like it.

Right. So that's where you need to start.

Generally you want to avoid a pure white background. Use a bit of a gradient. It can be pure white at the left, but light grey at the right.

Yep, use this one: ... but use the other two to build her a better pony tail.

Oh, pity it's chopped off at the top. But still, that might work.

There's a lot of direct light in that one that isn't in yours.

Looks like the focus is different on her hair in that one? It would need to be as similar as possible.

Oh hell. The little girl's pony tail is the problem. Did you capture another photo of her pony tail at a similar angle against white? Or even the grey wall colour?

And a link to an equivalent photo you'd like to mimic? Remember it will have to be an autumn photo like this one.

Gosh, good work!

Yay!!!

Cool. Have you browsed these resources? https://www.damiensymonds.net/tut_collage.html

Hi Kelli, which version of Photoshop do you have?
