The Candidates: How will they look in four years?  A trip through the Pop Photo Time Machine.

The Presidency really takes its toll; just look at how George Bush has aged. To see how the current candidates would fare after a term in the Oval Office, we put them through the Pop Photo Time Machine. See our Photoshopped before and afters of Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and Barack Obama.

Mouse-over any of the images to see how the candidates may look in 2012.

Aging takes time, even when you make it happen artificially with software. Each candidate took about four hours of retouching. To mimic the ravages of time, we did the following:

- Used the Burn and Dodge tools to deepen wrinkles and paint in age spots.
- Cloned the eyebrows and moved them lower.
- Used the Liquify filter to hollow out cheeks, make jowls, thin out lips, and enlarge ears and noses.
- For Clinton and Obama, brought in forehead wrinkles from separate photos and used the Match Color tool to blend them in.
- For Obama, painted in gray hair on top of his current hair; for Clinton, desaturated with the Sponge tool to make her grayer.

Scary!  :o

I think McCain is a nice looking fellow. I really detest some of his politics, but I have to admire his sacrifice and service to our nation. And yes, he is a nice looking man for his age.

You know what he looks like in four years?  A war hero.  The "old" picture looks like he'd bit the head off a rattlesnake.  Obama looks like he'd be tap dancing with a top hat on.  Hillary looks like....well like she does now with no makeup.

^tee hee!

I do think POTUS put major mileage on a person. All former presidents have proved that correct.
