How to create aging effects/wrinkles with Paint Shop Pro
My boys requested this tutorial. I’m really not sure what to call it. I suppose how to make someone look older, or how to create wrinkles in Paint Shop Pro will be sufficient. Anyway, they (my boys) wanted to see what their mommy would look like when she got older. I have never attempted any aging makeovers in the past. Most people request the opposite, they want to look younger. I decided to give the aging makeover a try, and you can follow the steps I used to achieve this effect/makeover. It’s by no means perfect Read more
