Use Photoshop to get young portraits to grow old

use Photoshop to grow the young portrait. Time is fair to everyone, just as the youth, though beautiful and wonderful, will die. And a young face, also with the passage of time, the eyes, eyebrows and mouth gradually wrinkles around, the skin gradually darkened, and even the appearance of black spots, the face of the flesh gradually relaxed, no original compact and elastic, the eyes will gradually fall into the eye socket, hair slowly become sparse, or even become gray-white. Since all of this is a feature of aging, can you predict the age of your youth according to your photographs? This tutorial is about learning how to use Photoshop to grow older.

Although the face of aging will appear hair white, skin relaxation and so on, but generally still more consistent with the young time. So the key to getting old is not just to find a picture of a young face, but to find a picture of an older face similar to this young face, and then J put the old man's face as a material, make a reasonable prediction, and synthesize it into a young face.

Let's look at the following two photos first. In the photo, the person's face skeleton, skin color are similar, we can follow this rule to find the right material.

2. Trimming material

You need to check the situation of young faces before you do the operation. If you look closely, you will find some small cuts in the face. Because these wounds heal quickly, they do not even leave traces. So we need to take care of all these wounds.

Step 1

Open a portrait of a young person, and then copy the original material layer (select Layers > New layers > Copy). Select the stain repair brush to repair the small wound shown below.

Step 2

As you age, the hairline will gradually move back, so you need to remove some of the hair from your forehead. Here, select the Lasso tool and create a selection in the Fringe location. Then select the Patch tool and select the content recognition mode. Move the skin of the forehead directly to the position of the fringe, so that the skin automatically identifies and fills the fringe position, removing the hair at the same time.

If you feel dissatisfied, try a different selection as a sample, or divide the selection into smaller constituencies, which can be mended more accurately.

3. Adjust Facial skeleton

Aging will not only cause wrinkles on the face, but also make the face of the skeleton small changes, ears and nose changes more obvious, the eyes will sag in, the skin becomes flabby. Here, use Photoshop's liquefaction filter to create this effect.

Step 1

Before you apply a liquefied filter, you need to do some preparatory work, because the liquefaction filter is not easy to grasp, it takes a little time to adjust. Because you apply filters and adjust more, using smart filters is a good choice. Select "Layer > Smart object > Convert to Smart Object" in the main menu, then select "Filter > liquefaction", Bring up the liquefaction settings panel, and remember to check advanced mode.

Step 2

Select the expansion tool and set the brush diameter not to be larger than the nose tip. Point a few points to the nose to make it look bigger.
