Face Transform with Type Tutorial

Fairly easy tutorial but definitely learnt from it. I'd never copied and pasted images directly into a mask before. I'm sure Phil will be very happy with the result :)

A more advanced tutorial this time. The tut involved selection, masking and blending techniques. Took about 2 hours. Still not completely happy but its ok.
