How to copy a "random shape" part of a photo to another photo ?

[Henri_III]

Bye everyone
via "F12" then "The clone Tool" you can move a part of a photo to another part in the photo.
How can you move the same selection to another photo?
For example, copy a head from one photo to another?
Or is there a "Plugin" or "Add-ons" to do this ?
Greetings

No. This is not possible using IrfanView. Use a proper photo-editor for such tasks. You need masks, feathering, etc.

Thx Pesala,


if you use "Create panorama image" vertically of the two photos. Then with "F12" + "Clone tool" you can copy parts of the bottom photo upwards. If you use "edit + create selection" you can select the first photo to send as a New Year's card with the faces of the second photo on a winter landscape of the first photo. The quality is quite good. What do you think ?

Copy the other image and Edit/paste special/to bottom should also work to create the image to clone from. Then select and Edit/"Remove/Insert strip"/Remove horizontal strip to remove the pasted part and leave the original image with the cloning completed.

Might be easier?

That's right, good looking Guyxyx , a bench ahead of the class.
Maybe someone else has another good idea?
Thanks for the tip
For everyone health, hope, love, peace and everything your hearts desire for 2023.
