I decided that if I was going to learn how to do the touch up enhancement, I was going to dive into it head first. I was going not only for a enhancement but wanted to make him considerably younger and I wanted to make it look kind of like a painting. It took forever, but this is what I came up with. I know the blanket doesn't look as painted as I wanted so if you don't mind, please comment more on him and not the blanket. I really enjoyed doing this one.

CMYK46 I always appreciate your comments. I wish we could edit these practice contest. I see what you are saying about his eyes and nose. I uploaded another one without face enhancement.

4-steps guide for Old man young man:

Entry guide: step 1 of 4

I used a very small brush size and a low hardness with the heal and smudge tool.

Entry guide: step 2 of 4

I used a very low hardness with the dodge and burn tools. I also healed and smudged just a little bit more.

Entry guide: step 3 of 4

Since I can't edit this SBS. Just a note on the last step. I used the dodge and burn on this hair, eyebrows and beard. Not that you couldn't tell.

On this step I used the smudge and liquify tool to reshape his eyebrows eyes, and nose. I also shaped his jaw line and chin just a hair.

Entry guide: step 4 of 4

Last I wanted to give it just a little color, so I used a color balance layer and dropped the opacity to 65.

I hope you guys like it.

final result
