1) To start of a displacement map, you will want to have two photos. One will be an image of a face or hands, they work the best. Then the second picture will be what you want to put on your subject.

-- Go to layer > Duplicate Layer > Rename it "Displacement".
3) After duplicating the image, we want to desaturate it.
-- Click on Image > Adjustments > Desaturate.
4) The last thing we will need to do with the Displacement Layer, is save it to your desktop.
-- Click File > Save as > Name it something you will remember.
5) Now, we will go to the picture that we want to put on the subject. You want to drag the picture over to your subject (face or hand).
6) You want to drag the image over your subjects hand or face.
-- A tip would be if you drop the opacity so you can get an exact placement.

Another window will pop up, click the photo you named "Displacement"
9) To complete it you will want to click add vector mask. (Right button bar) Along with you want drop the opacity down to a point where you can see your subject and the displacement.
10) Click on the paint brush tool, erase the part of you displacement photo you do not want.
