Right, what's the best tool/way to do it?Hello, I would start with the same face light for all of them and where they look.
Ok, these guys with the X's have different contrast and lighting than the guy in the middle and his background.

This guy is back lit from a light source coming from behind him, the other guys don't have this.

This guy with the X has the opposite light source than the other three.

This image would require a ton of work to make it look as if they were all in the image together.
The way to fix this is to find a better background image that contains lighting that they all could share.
Make sure all of your subjects have the same directional light source.
The contrast could be helped with a Curves adjustment layer on the guys that are not part of the original image.
Take the guy on the right and flip him horizontally. Then switch the two men with X's.Thank you for your reply. I really wanted to keep this scene, with 4 of my favorite musicians in a bar, and I found this picture with a middle guy in one, so I just decided to add the other three. I guess I will either search for another background, or try to fix them this way.
I already did. I said use a Curves adjustment layer (clipped) on each of the men that are not part of the original image.Now could you tell me how can I make two guys on sides seem to be lesser quality?
Take the guy on the right and flip him horizontally......
I think I understand what your saying and I would agree to some point.This is an interesting issue, I am not sure how much it is technical and how much moral. I remember the idea of my friend to flip horisontaly night picture where you can obviously see some constellations. Yes, the picture would look better, but everybody with some night sky knowledge would immediately label it as a fake. I am afraid it could be the same here, although I recognise only Leonard Cohen, I think these are well known people and majority of faces are not symmetrical, so whoever knows the person would probably either recognise the flip or consider the picture unnatural. Just my opinion.
