Abstract

Implementations disclose editing of facial expressions and other attributes based on collections of images. In some implementations, a method includes receiving an indication of one or more desired facial attributes for a face depicted in a target image. The method searches stored data associated with a plurality of different source images depicting the face and finds one or more matching facial attributes in the stored data that match the one or more desired facial attributes. The matching facial attributes are associated with one or more portions of the source images. One or more target image portions in the target image are replaced with the one or more portions of the source images associated with the matching facial attributes.
