FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH

Before:

After:

Day One:
Today, I’m going to start with thinning out her hair, since peoples’ hair begins to fade and fall out as they age. Next, I used the Liquify tool to make her skin look saggy. I used the airbrush tool to give her wrinkles, and the burn tool to give her age spots and to darken her teeth. I darkened under her eyes also, to give her more age.
Day Two:
I used the magnetic lasso tool to cut out her hair and make it gray. I darkened her face, the sky, and the water to make the picture darker. I gave her some highlights in her hair to make it look more realistic. I added finishing touches but making her hair look like it wasn’t a wig.
Day Three:
I put both pictures into Free Morph and made them morph into a sequence from young to old.

Original:

Young:

Old:

Day Four:
Manipulated Brittney’s parents to look younger using Photoshop. I used the same processes I used with Brittney, except with the opposite effect. Clone and Healing tool to make their skin even out and remove wrinkles.
Day Five:
Today I went in the opposite direction; I made Brittney’s parents look older than they actually are. I used the same effects I had used for Brittney this time.
Day Six:
I put all three of Brittney’s parents’ pictures into Spirlz 2.1 and morphed them together. Lastly, I put both .avi morphs into Adobe Premiere and made them into one movie.
