Today's program lets you enhance a photograph in a number of ways. You might have seen software on shows like 'NCIS' that can age a person, but this stuff takes it to the next level. Apart from making them younger or older, you can also enhance the image to show the effects of a different lifestyle, like "Weathered Sea Captain" or "Grizzled Veteran Soldier".
