Step 1: Select a close up image of the person you're using on the cover. Make sure it's one where there is a bit of a side profile or their head is tilted a little bit. You also want the picture to be closer up.
Step 2: Open up the Polaroid below and place it at an angle on your person's face. Make sure you place the Polaroid on the side of the person's face that's being shown to the camera. When you have it placed how you like it, drop the shadow and merge.

Step 3: Pick a picture of your person of an emotion you want go focus on. Think of how you want the direction of your book to go. If it's sad and the character is supposed to be 'broken,' use a picture of them crying. If it's supposed to be suspenseful, use a picture of them scared, or nervous looking. Really, just pick a picture that's appropriate for your cover. Turn the saturation of the picture down and put it on multiply. Fit it to your Polaroid so it looks like the picture is part of their face. Use the rectangle masking tool to cut off the surrounding part of the image. Merge normally when it's cleaned up and positioned properly.
