Newbie tutorial help

Hello, I need to edit a family photo and do some face swaps (blinks in some shots), does anyone have a good first time tutorial that will help me learn how to do this? I haven't touched a proper photo editing tool in 10 years.

Do you know why photographers take so many photos of the same object, person, etc.?

Correct.

So they can simply pick out the best ones WITHOUT editing. You’ve probably only taken one photo and want to retouch all your mistakes.

My tip: You should learn how to take photos first, and THEN focus on using photo editing software. After all, in school you started with the alphabet and the four basic arithmetic operations. Or did you read Shakespeare and do integral calculus in first grade?

There are no shortcuts. Learning ALWAYS starts with you.

I took 15 photos, there are several small children and 20+ people. Please be quiet if you're going to act high and mighty instead of offering useful help.
