Here is a middle aged lady on which I performed a little makeover. I did my best to keep her skin from looking like she is ready for the undertaker. I did not change her eye color, although some of our members have expressed an affinity for red hair and green eyes. You know who you are :mrgreen: so fix em if you like! (She might be too old for you LOL)

No, she's just a download from one of the freebie sites, but she does kinda look like her a little bit.

There are some nice changes you made. I like the hair and the eye color changes. To be completely honest though so you can improve, which is what I can only assume you want to do. :) The skin is a mess. It looks like you blurred the heck out of it and then added back some noise for texture.

I'm attaching a de-aging pic I'm working on right now and it is by no means finished, but I think it might give you an idea on where you want to go when doing a de-aging.

Subtlety is the key and less is WAY more. First off for your skin textures, a well used effective technique is duplicating you original layer twice. On one of the duplicates, run either a gaussian or surface blur so that the colors are in place, but there is no texture or definition to the skin. On the layer above the blur, run the high pass filter till the facial details are just visible and set layer to either hard or vivid light. This effectively gives you a color layer and a texture layer that you can manipulate separately.
One the layers are separated, you can go in on the high pass layer and use whichever technique you prefer to get rid of wrinkles and such.

The other essential detail of de-aging is recognizing what happens to the body when you age(besides wrinkles) and reversing those attributes. I've listed these thing in other posts, but I'll briefly list them here.
To make someone look younger "in general" the nose should be smaller. The eyes should be slightly larger, lifted and brighter.
Wrinkles(not natural facial creases) should be softened or removed. Ears if visible should be slightly smaller. Nose should be
slightly smaller and shorter. Lips should be fuller(on women much fuller) jowls should be gotten rid of and the over all appearance of the face should be fuller(chubbier if you will)

Focus on these aspects and I guarantee you next one will show major improvements.

Larry, I'm bowled over! As Steve suggested, that's the best re-touch job you have ever posted on PSG. It is orders of magnitude better than images you posted only a week or two ago.

Whatever changed, keep doing more of the same - you are now on the right track.

One rarely sees such large improvements in such a short time, so, may I ask, "What changed?"

Best regards,

Tom
 
Probably the thought of red haired, green eyed ladies, that'll get your juices flowing! In this case though it was Pixels :mrgreen:
 
The main thing is working to achieve a realistic look and being more critical of my own work. One cannot submit images here for critique without realizing just how closely they are scrutinized. Plus my acquired knowledge is now coming together and proficient use of all the tools available to me.

It is a never ending learning process with Adobe products IMO
 
And now the Green
Green eyes,green dress green jewelry, I used surface blur with luminosity mode on the skin. Fill and opacity levels tweaked a bit. Selection process could've been better but for play not bad….
Old?
Nah!
Older Sexy mama?
Oh yeah!

You know how, put the fire out, smarty pants :mrgreen:
 
I'll bet you a steak dinner that if you ever saw the previous version of the woman walking down the street, you would be thinking, "The next thing out of her mouth is going to be, 'Gort klaatu barada nikto' ", and you would walk calmly but quickly in the opposite direction and call the sighting in to an Area 51 reality TV show. :mrgreen:
