Does this make him look younger?

[Matt K.]

I was asked to "make Bob's complexion appear healthier (younger)". I have never done this in my life and resorted to a software to help me out with this. Here are the before and after images, and I would like your input as to how "real" this is. I will provide hyperlinks to the original size image when you click on the "before" and "After".

I think you've done a decent job Matt! Skin tone looking a bit orange/reddish on my monitor though.

I think Bobs features and grey hair make it difficult to make him look younger. The skin softening you've used seems to have made a small step in the younger direction though I think.
