I use Photoshop Elements 14 but it is not so much about the package you use, but more about how you use the tools. I have seen some pretty good results using free photo editing software such as "Gimp".
It's all about about practise and familiarising yourself with the tools and their capabilities.

I'd say a bit younger as he looks very 'fresh faced. Maybe around 20  - 18 to 22

I thought I'd seen this before:

Threads merged.

I think you thought it was taken circa 1910 on that thread  :-\

The clothing is classic workman's clothes that could be Edwardian or a few years before and after. Maybe 1898-1814***. I meant 1914!

It's not encouraged to put up the same request again.. I note that you asked for an approx date on the previous thread.

I would say the war years and maybe up to 1920.  I would guess his age to be late teens early 20s.
