  5. Go to your new canvas then using the move tool, drag the original image of the old man from its canvas which he had wrinkles into your own canvas.
  6. To fit the "before" image into your canvas, use transform (Ctrl + T) to enlarge or decrease the size of the image or another way is to save the before image as your file (eg. old_gen.png, wrinkleold
    _gen.png) so that you will not need any transformations.
  7. Focus on your own canvas. In the toolbox you can see the healing brush tool, click the healing brush tool then a pop-up menu will appear and then click the patch tool. To use the patch tool, you will need a source so that the source will be the one that will been copy and patch to the wrinkles of the old man.
  8. To make a source, use the patch tool then it works like lasso tool where in you can freely select a part of an image. Just press Alt+Click to the source. When you are done selecting the source by the use of patch tool, right click then a pop-up menu will appear. Click "layer via copy" you will notice that a new layer had been created containing the selected part of the image. (tip: Avoid selecting a part that has wrinkle it must be unwrinkled.)
  9. Copy the layer then move it to the parts where the old man has wrinkles. But always remember that the destination that will be patch must have the same texture or pixel with the source. You can copy again the layer if it has the same pixel with the destination.
  10. Use again the patch tool to select the source. This time you will identify the parts that doesn't complement with the first source. Make sure that the source complement and blend with the parts to avoid mismatching of the pixels.
  11. Save your work as Youmakemefeelyoung_(your name).psd. Then you can also save it as a jpeg file or png file (eg. Youmakemefeelyoung
    _(your name).jpg, Youmakemefeelyoung_(your name).png)
