You will create two different types of retouched photos for this assignment. One should be a portrait of a elderly person retouched to look digitally younger. The other photo should be a portrait of a person that appears significantly older fom the previous one. Use Adobe PhotoShop to edit your photos. We will discuss techniques for repairing your photos during class.

Use PhotoShop to retouch photos using various techniques and tool combinations such as:

• Clone tool • Healing brush & Patch brush • Blur & Smudge tools • Dodge, Sponge, Burn tools • Color Balance/Hue replacement • Red Eye tool

The retouched images were created by Sydney Stenehjem and Eric Alvarez.
The below examples were created by Bowie students of one another.

This website has Photoshop contests. Contestants are required to keep a log of the steps involved in their creation process. They write and screen capture the major steps. Each student must keep a log of what they did to retouch their photos. The log should be turned in with your assignment. So, write down all major steps and take screen shots during the process (called the "Work in Progress") that describes the procedures you followed to create your image. Include the tools you used and the different steps that you followed. A suggestion is to keep track while you go.

NOTE: The skills involved in retouching the photos can be used for numerous reasons such as repairing damaged, ripped, folded, scratched, water spotted, torn, fingerprinted, or faded/washed out photographs.

Here's a website with examples of photo retouching before and after images.
