This
unfortunate gentleman was the subject of some truly merciless photomanipulation
to appear on the invites for his 50th birthday celebration. The original
photograph was scanned into Adobe Photoshop 4.0 and susequently savaged
in the space of about two hours each. This is the original scan. |
|
The
aging effect was produced mainly with the dodge, burn and airbrush tools.
Fortunately, due to the fact that he's quite a good looking chappie, he's
ended up bearing a remarkable resemblance to Sean Connery so he wasn't
too put out. |

These
effects were achieved using Photoshop's distortion filters, primarily the
'pinch', 'spherise' and the 'distort' features. |
