Wouldn't we all like to live to age 96 and look as well as she. Wrinkles and all. I have taken photos in the past 2 years of some World War 2 Veterans, at a Veterans Event. Some are in wheelchairs. I shoot in JPEG, and I make prints for them. They are all 90+ years in age. No one, young and old, cares about the skin wrinkles. They are our greatest generation. As she is.

Took images of my 97 yr old mother-in-law today. Just wondering how much editing you should do on the skin? She's a beautiful lady but her skin shows the age of her many years. I can see eliminating the major spots that stand out but probably leaving everything else. The worst area is her neck. What do you think I should do there, maybe some burning in?
Leave it alone, she earned that beautiful face.

Leave her alone. She looks just wonderful for 97.

Everyone ages. Age spots and wrinkles are part of it. Accept it. Be thankful she is alive and looking good...wrinkles and all.

I'm no expert but I think she is a beautiful 97 years young.

Typo error. She's 97.

Ask her what she thinks.Sometimes I apply a Gaussian blurr with a 4.75r to do a small amount of smoothing - still leaves the character

She's a lovely lady who doesn't look her age! I'd leave the picture just as is, wpas!

Your mother-in-law is a beautiful 97 year old lady. Your portrait of her is just perfect, wpas.
