I had an idea for this plug-in, let's call it lazy man's fake morph.
Have 2 mugshots from same angle. These aren't exactly but they are good enough for this test.
You can use "realign" (ofn-layer-aligner.py) to align the faces quickly.
I extracted the backgrounds, to be able use same background and also changed the color of John's face to match Elvis's skin color.
