Best method to seamlessly swap someone's face in a group photo with their face in another photo?

A band hired me to do a photoshoot of them and it was my first time shooting a band professionally so I was and still am quite nervous about the photos turning out well, especially since they're a well known group and the pictures will be published in a magazine and spread around a lot and attributed to me. The issue I'm posting here about is that all of the best shots I got of the group are good except for one member who will either be making a weird expression or has their eyes closed. I took a lot of photos but I didn't really get any where each member of the group looks good in the same photo; they each look good throughout the set of photos, just not all at once in one photo. What I'd like to do is replace that member's face in the otherwise good photo with her face from another photo from the shoot where her eyes aren't closed or she has a better expression...but I feel like I'm playing with fire by doing this since I really don't want it to be obvious that I photoshopped it in any way, either to the band or anyone who views the photos later on.
I'm decent with Photoshop but I'd still like to know what the best method of doing this would be so that it looks as natural/unaltered as possible. Any suggestions?
Also, the photos I'd be switching the faces in were mostly shot from the same angle and with the same lighting and exposure but a few were shot from slightly different angles or the exposure is slightly different, which makes it more difficult. If, for example, due to flash settings the photo I'm trying to paste a face into (let's call it Photo A) is slightly brighter than the photo I'm trying to copy the face from (Photo B), what's the best way to merge/adjust the two so that the brightness levels in Photo A and the layer from Photo B are as similar as possible?
(I'm using PS CS6)

Ideally, if you have several shots from the same place, with that band member's head in a similar angle, you could do something like this:
1. Choose the Polygonal lasso tool.
2. Set it to feather a few pixels.
3. Select around the facial features in the image with the good face.
4. Paste the good face on the otherwise good background and move it into position over the bad face.
5. Set it to be partially transparent to help you align it. Use Edit - Free Transform to rotate or scale it if it's off a little.
6. Make it fully opaque, and use Curves, etc. to perfectly match the exposure, if it's off a little.
Clearly you can do this with the mouth, eyes, whole face, etc.
Example:

I need a Smart Album that only contains photos with NO faces detected

I've been fiddling with the smart album settings, and I can't seem to find a way to do this. iPhoto will miss detection on some faces, and I need a way to see ONLY the photos that iPhoto didn't find a face for.
This is NOT the same as a smart album with an "unknown" face. This is a smart album that will show ALL photos with NO face detected at all.
Is this possible?

Boy, why can't we use Smart Folders as a criteria for creating another Smart Folder? This works in iTunes! You can use a Smart Playlist as a criteria for creating another Smart Playlist.
Well, here is what you can do...
Create a Smart Folder that gathers all of the identified Faces. Faces --> is not --> unnamed
Then drag all those photos to a standard album titled Faces Named
Next Create a Smart folder that gathers all of the unnamed Faces. Faces --> is --> unnamed
Now drag all those photos to a standard album title Faces Unnamed.
Finally, create a Smart Album with the following criteria...
Album --> is not --> Faces Named
Album --> is not --> Faces Unnamed
That should gather every photo that iPhoto has determined that no faces exist.

Unnamed Faces in photo with no faces

I have created a smart album to show all unnamed faces. Several of these images are showing '1 unnamed face' in the Info tab, however there are no squares to tag in the image itself. Is there anyway to correct this? My library has recently been repaired.

This is probably too late for you but other may find it useful in the future.
This seems to be a fault within iPhoto, and Apple don't seem interested in fixing it as usual, the customer comes last.
Here is what you have to do.
First Create a Smart album that collates all Hidden Photos
Now go back to your Smart Album with "unnamed Faces" and Hide the ones that don't show the Face Square
Theses photos will now appear in the Hidden Smart Album.
Now Unhide them (Show ) them.
The unnamed face square will not usually appear in the photo .
If not, it maybe a cropping issue and the unnamed face is outside the cropped area.

2006 MacBook Pro died, best methods to transfer data to new MacBook Pro

So my Rev. A MacBook Pro 2.16Ghz intel core duo finally died, looks like something on the logic board. So I bought a brand new 2011 2.2Ghz MacBook Pro. I have purchase and On The Go 2.5 inch enclosure from OWC, it's a USB device. the old hard drive is now in the enclosure, and I'm awaiting delivery tomorrow, of the new MacBook Pro.
My question is, what would be the best method to transfer old files. I want to start fresh with library and system files, as well as email IMAP files. my main concern is applications.
Can I simply drag the actual app from the old app folder to the new app folder? Will it bring along with it preferences and settings? Or do I need all the .DMG files to install the app into the new MBP?
Apps like; Audiohub, Connect360, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro. honestly there are so many more that I can't remember right now.
Thanks in advance.

You can attempt to manually move these files but if it doesn't work then just migrating the whole user and deleting the items you don't want might be the way to go.
Copy the following files from the old HD to their matching location on the new computer and then restart the computer before you launch any of these applications:
Safari: Users / Your User / Library / Safari
iCal: Users / Your User / Library / Calendars
Addressbook: Users / Your User / Application Support / Addressbook
iChat : Users / Your User / Library / Preferences / com.apple.ichat (there may be more than one of these files. copy them all over)
I don't use Skype so I don't know exactly where they store their files but checking in Users / Your User / Library / Skype would be a logical place to start. You can certainly ask in the Skype forum: http://forum.skype.com/
Adobe products tend to have bits and pieces scattered throughout. There may be a simple solution but I would suggest you inquire in the Adobe forums: http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop/photoshop_macintosh

Best method for creating a collection.

hi,
i've written a loop which specifies the content of a name,age and location String for each time it goes through the loop.
I've also created a Person() class which has the ability to set these strings as its variables.
What would be the best collection to use for putting together lots of Person() objects each with their own variables(set by the loop).
I've tried using an Person[] and using the variable i to set a person for each location for example
person [] people = new person[100]
int i = 0
public void loadPeople()
for(i = 0; i < 100; i++){
name = //Changing variable read from text file;
age = //changing variable read from text file;
location = //changing variable read from text file;
people[i] = new Person(name, age, location);
}however if i use the method
System.out.println("people[1].name");i get "null"; and name is definately public.
So i was wondering basically if there is something else a little better to use as a collection.
Thanks
Richard.

<wearing psychic hat>
I bet the constructor looks amazingly similar to this:
public Person(String name, int age, String location)
name = name;
age = age;
location = location;
}</wearing psychic hat>
Am I right?
If so, think about what this means.
name = name;
Assigns the value of a variable to itself. Not terribly useful, huh?
How about this instead?
this.name = name;
Assigns the value of the local name parameter to the attribute named 'name' of this object.

Sync Calendar / Contacts without installing software - best method?

That's the conclusion I came to a couple of months ago. I was hoping things might have moved on. Never mind, perhaps something will develop out of the SDK when it is launched in Feb.
Thanks anyway.

Finding all photos that include a particular person whether their face appears or not

Faces is a great way to locate all photos where someone's face appears. But what about photos that the person is in, but their face is not (e.g., the photo was taken from behind the person)? What's the best way to tag photos so that I'll be able to have all photos that contain Person X together, whether their face is in the photo or not? (Note: I know I could use Faces to add a face to the back of someone's head - that would get that picture to appear in Faces for that person, but would likely mess up the face recognition for that person).
My current thought is to use keywords to tag those photos with the names of people who appear in photos without their face showing. I could then create a Smart Album that includes all photos that contain a Face or Keyword for Person X. Is there a better way to accomplish this?

(Note: I know I could use Faces to add a face to the back of someone's head - that would get that picture to appear in Faces for that person, but would likely mess up the face recognition for that person).
That will not mess up the face recognition. iPhoto will only use the faces that have been automatically found by iPhoto to learn the parameters for the recognition of the person. So you can include any part of the person to get the photot in the Faces stack on the cork board.

That is fine, but does not give you access by using the Faces view.

School photo with 25 kids and I have been able to name 17 on them - but the remaining 8 faces I am unable to name. I go through the process (done it thousand of times) and type in the name and it sticks, I close the photo and reopen I

I have a photo with 25 faces. I have named 17 with no problem but the remaining 8 names I am unable to make them stick. I go through the process (have done it thousands of times) and no luck. I have shut down the computer, I have unplugged it, I have turned iPhoto off and nothing will allow me to name these remaining photos. I type in the name and click RETURN and the name holds, I close the photo and bring it back and the name is gone. I have done this dozen of times - still no luck. I have a few other photos of groups and the same thing is happening with just a few of the faces. All the faces are clear, same size and no different in clarity than the other faces. I have tried changing the size of the "box" around the photo to name it - still no luck.
I am on the ground floor so I can not throw the computer out the window.

Im wondering why my post hasn't been answered yet. I did file a report with the BBB and I had a rude representative from Verizon call me named Steve. He said I can file all of the reports I want and I will just keep getting calls from him. I can understand why my phone couldn't be replaced because of the small crack. I guess I have to eat that one (but it sucks because the lollipop update is what caused the problems) but what about all of the data overage I had to pay for for trying to fix this phone because of a lollipop update. I dont think it is fair to have to pay that as well. In addition, because I have an east coast phone number but live on the west coast, I cannot have tech support after 8pm. Verizon has cut this off. Im very dissatisfied and I have been a customer of Verizon for 13 years. Im hoping for a response this time.

Smart Album to show pics with no faces, & any photos that iPhoto no faceID

Hi, I've just started to use iPhoto 09, after a long long time getting to know my iMac, and organising my iTunes library...
I want a smart album to show photos which have no faces, but also to have photos which iPhoto has not picked up that a photo needs a "face ID" on, what I mean is, if a person is turned away to to the side, iPhoto might not pick up that it needs to be a "face" and so wont show up in the normal smart album Photo>is>unnamed
if anyone can help, would be great, I'm busy slowly importing my photos, and what to do this one step at a time
cheers

A smart album with the criteria "Face is unnamed" will find any photo with an unnamed face on it. It can be either one with a named face or two but at least one unnamed face or a photo with no faces named.
There is workaround to get what you want.
1 - add a keyword, face, to any photo you name a face in.
2 - create a smart album with the criteria "Keyword is not face".
This will identify any photo with no face at all. If you've not added any other keywords to photos you can create the smart album above and then sort by keyword. Those with both a face and unnamed face will have the keyword face and can be sorted to the top or bottom of the list.

Smart Album errors detecting photos w/ missing faces

I created a smart album (Faces is "unnamed") to find photos with missing faces. I went through and identified each of the photos. As I did this, as soon as I put in the name, many (but not all) disappeared from the album.
However, the Smart Album still has a number of photos, even though there are no unidentified images. I checked each one to see if there were small boxes that I missed, but there weren't.
I deleted the album and set up a new smart album (with the same criteria) and the images still appear in the album.
Is there any way to make my smart album smarter? (remove a plist???)
Thanks!

. "Affe". I have a face named "Sculpture".
I was quite impressed that Aperture's Face Recognition recognizeed the baboon's face.
I have some nice tagged sculptures too.
And some of the more cheeky suggestion by Aperture I named "Funny Face", for example - where does Aperture see a Face here in the bottom part of the picture?

Smart Album with Unnamed Faces

Hi - I created a smart album containing all images with unnamed faces (using the "Face: is unnamed" filter), which I found useful for editing people's names. It had been working, but the folder now contains nothing even though I still have lots of images with unnamed faces. Tried deleting the old and creating a new smart album, quit and restarted Aperture a few times, and repaired the library, but still doesn't work. Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Peter O.

Not perfect, but better than nothing...
I created a Smart Album with a rule set that says "Must match All" and then five rules:
Face does not include a
Face does not include e
Face does not include i
Face does not include o
Face does not include u
The album includes all pics with unnamed faces, but also all pics with no faces (e.g., landscapes). I then scan thru looking for faces I want to name.
I also submitted a request to restore the real feature, as Terence recommended.

What is the best method to store session variables

As the title says, what is the best method to store session
variables in a Production environment?
I have been reading the posts on sessions and have been
getting different ideas on where to store session variables, in a
db, registery, cookies etc etc
Can someone clarify possible best practice on this matter?
Matrix

From my experience, db is the best to store client variable
data. Registry will cause you trouble in future (when data gets
overloaded) and cookies will not serve the purpose for a few % of
your users.
