Step 1: To start the mane event, let's do a quick drag-and-drop of the face onto our lion.
Step 2: Next, click on the layer mask icon to create a layer mask for us to work on.
Step 3: A layer mask is a great way of erasing part of an image while maintaining control over how much you want to erase. Paint in the layer mask with black to erase, white to unerase. The Intuos Pen's 1,024 levels of pressure-sensitivity give you the power to blend the two images subtly and cleanly.
Step 4: Once you have the layer mask the way you want it, drag the layer mask to the trash can icon to delete the layer mask (click on the Apply button to apply the mask before deleting it.)
Step 5: Now we're going to clone a little hair onto the guy's face. Choose a small brush, and select "Use All Layers" and "Size" and "Opacity" to get the most out off the Intuos Pen. You can literally "paint" hair in by sampling from a nearby section of mane and painting on the face.
Step 6: And here's one more reason why the Intuos Pen is on the top of the food chain, Photoshop-wise. Click "Preserve Transparency" on the face layer, and set the rubber stamp to "Color" and paint in the color of the lion's body on the face. If you set your DuoSwitch for the 'option' or 'alt' key, you can sample with a gentle roll of the finger and release for smooth, easy cloning.
Step 7: Bert Lahr would be proud
