Changing age and seeing ourselves in old age doesn't seem to worry us until we come face to face with it. Fact.
For obvious reasons, among them, the lack of perception of how time passes too quickly, and when we realize it, we are living just waiting for the end of the day, the end of the week, the end of the month, the end of the year.
Time does not forgive, does not extend, it is relentless. What if we could see our faces in 20, 30 years?
And if we traveled back in time and saw ourselves at 65, 70 years old, what would our reaction be?
It is completely possible and with great reality of appearance to see ourselves in old age, thanks to the technology of some applications and artificial intelligence.
Is it worth seeing us at 65?
In my opinion, yes, it can make us reflect on life, perhaps replan that vacation trip we wanted so much in the past, revisit beautiful places around the world, or suddenly, make an effort to buy that car we wanted so much at some point, visit that dream beach, or the cuisine of a restaurant we so desired.
Want to see yourself older? Ready to get emotional?
There are several ways, and we will teach you the face effect that we applied in the video, before that, see some tips on how to do it:
Using a photo editing app
There are many photo editing apps that offer aging effects. Some of the most popular ones are:
- FaceApp
- FaceLab
- Oldify
- Snapchat
- AgingBooth
These apps use facial recognition to add effects like wrinkles, gray hair, and sagging to your image.
To use a photo editing app to age your face, follow these steps:
- Install the app on your device.
- Open the app and select a photo of yourself.
- Find the aging effect and apply it to your photo.
- Save your edited image.
Using video editing software
You can also use video editing software to age your face. Some of the most popular programs include:
Adobe Photoshop
Final Cut Pro
Adobe Premiere Pro
DaVinci Resolve
These programs allow you to manipulate your face in more detail than a photo editing app.
To use video editing software to age your face, follow these steps:
- Import a video of yourself into the program.
- Use video editing tools to add effects like wrinkles, gray hair, and sagging to your face.
- Export your edited video.
Here are some tips to realistically age your face:
- Don't overdo the effects. If you add too many wrinkles or gray hairs, your face may look unnatural.
- Consider your current age. If you are young, you may not want to age your face too much.
- Experiment. Try different effects until you find one you like.
Important considerations
It's important to remember that these effects are just simulations. They are not an accurate representation of what you will look like when you get older.
How did we make the video effect?
We use one of the most popular effects on TIKTOK at the moment, it's called AGED. There are more than 23 million videos posted on TIKTOK with this very successful effect.
Finally, don't forget that you need to have TIKTOK installed on your cell phone for this effect to work.
In short, we saw that technology is here to stay, and we will use it in the best possible way. Thank you very much for your attention.
