Am searching for a tutorial on forensic aging. I know that Computerarts and the "artyears" website had very good tutorials on this but both are either achived or removed from circulation. I would appreciate any help or suggestions. Thanks.

:FAQ:

Start thar!

When i did one, i used the clone and heal brush to get the texture of old skin on the younger face, also i just went in a painted it up.

The clone tools will really help, becuase you can copy wrinkles and blemishes onto your photo...

[edit:] Oh carp. After I posted... I read the words, FORENSIC. [/edit]

Look at an old picture. Notice how they're grainy...

Image>Adjust>Desatuarte

Try creating a new layer, making a small circle with the elipse tool, and filling it with a darkish brown (for sepia, dark grey for b/w). Lower transparency

Make the picture over/under exposed with brightness/contrast... Usually if they were over exposed there was very little contrast... If they were under exposed, still very little contrast... but dark.

Search the FAQs for rip tutorials...

uhhh.... oh.

forensics is a broad term.... you see. I thought you wanted to make a person older, like they do in forensics to see what a person may look like later in life...

see http://www.crimelibrary.com/criminal_mind/forensics/art/6.html from the FAQ.

So, what the Heck are you after?

edit, i re-read your title, "Ageing Portraits" and i think that means making people old???

eyezaer: You wer right frst time

The problem is that the best tutorial (the Computer Arts one) has disappeared. After you posted the FAQ link I checked some of those (ageing) links and I couldn't get the CA tutorial.

ah!

I have the picture files that went with that tut... i am sure Bob also has them....

Honestly, i didnt really rely on that tut when i aged a face... becuase the tut just didnt look real enough.

I dunno where to find another one... Best bet is to learn about Blend modes, so you can mix textures together, and then get a firm grip on the clone tool.

I noticed that several links are not working on that faq entry... is there a "report broken link" link somewhere?
