Age Transformation

Transform faces across different ages using each::sense. This skill enables realistic age progression (aging) and age regression (de-aging) effects on photos, useful for entertainment, film/video production, forensic visualization, and creative projects.

Features

• Age Progression: Make subjects appear older (10, 20, 40+ years)
• Age Regression: De-age subjects to look younger
• Baby to Adult: Predict how a baby/child might look as an adult
• Teenage Version: Transform to teenage appearance
• Senior/Elderly: Create realistic elderly versions
• Middle-Aged: Transform to middle-age appearance
• Subtle Aging: Minor age changes (5-10 years)
• Dramatic Aging: Major age transformations (30-50 years)
• De-aging for Film: Professional de-aging for video/film production
• Age Timeline: Generate multiple ages in sequence

10. Age Progression Timeline (Multiple Ages)

Generate multiple age versions using session continuity.

# First request - Age to 40
curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "This is a 20-year-old. Create an age progression showing them at 40 years old. Maintain identity throughout."}],
    "model": "eachsense/beta",
    "stream": true,
    "image_urls": ["https://example.com/person-age-20.jpg"],
    "session_id": "age-timeline-project-001",
    "mode": "max"
  }'

# Second request - Age to 60 (same session)
curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Now show the same person at 60 years old. Continue the aging progression naturally from the 40-year-old version."}],
    "model": "eachsense/beta",
    "stream": true,
    "session_id": "age-timeline-project-001",
    "mode": "max"
  }'

# Third request - Age to 80 (same session)
curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Finally, show them at 80 years old. Complete the age timeline with realistic elderly features."}],
    "model": "eachsense/beta",

    "mode": "max"
  }'

Best Practices

For Realistic Results

• High-quality source photos: Use clear, well-lit frontal portraits
• Specify exact age: "Age to 65" is better than "make older"
• Mention identity preservation: Always request maintaining recognizable features
• Describe aging features: Guide the transformation with specific details

Input Photo Guidelines

• Resolution: Higher resolution photos produce better results
• Lighting: Even, neutral lighting works best
• Angle: Front-facing portraits are ideal
• Expression: Neutral expressions transform most naturally
• Obstruction: Avoid sunglasses, heavy makeup, or face coverings

Prompt Tips

When requesting age transformations, include:

1. Current age (if known): "This 30-year-old..."
2. Target age: "...to look 70 years old"
3. Aging features: "Add wrinkles, gray hair, age spots..."
4. Identity note: "...while keeping them recognizable"
5. Quality requirement: "Photorealistic result"

Example Prompt Structure

"Transform this [current age]-year-old to look [target age] years old.
Add [specific aging/de-aging features].
Maintain their identity and recognizable features.
[Additional requirements like lighting, style, etc.]"

Mode Selection

Mode	Best For	Speed	Quality
max	Final outputs, professional work, film/video	Slower	Highest
eco	Quick previews, testing, iterations	Faster	Good

Recommendation: Use eco mode to test and refine your prompts, then switch to max for final high-quality outputs.

Multi-Turn Refinement

Use session_id to iteratively refine age transformations:

# Initial transformation
curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Age this person to 70 years old"}],
    "model": "eachsense/beta",
    "stream": true,
    "image_urls": ["https://example.com/portrait.jpg"],
    "session_id": "age-refinement-001"
  }'

# Refine the result
curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Add more prominent wrinkles and make the hair completely white"}],
    "model": "eachsense/beta",
    "stream": true,
    "session_id": "age-refinement-001"
  }'

# Further adjustment
curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Keep the aging but make the expression warmer, add smile lines"}],
    "model": "eachsense/beta",
    "stream": true,
    "session_id": "age-refinement-001"
  }'

Common Use Cases

Use Case	Recommended Approach
Entertainment/Fun	Quick age-ups/de-aging with eco mode
Film/Video VFX	De-aging actors with max mode, detailed prompts
Missing Persons	Age progression from childhood, preserve key features
Family Projects	"What will I look like at 80?" type queries
Forensic Visualization	Professional age progression with identity focus
Before/After Concepts	Subtle aging for skincare/health visualizations

Error Handling

Error	Cause	Solution
Failed to create prediction: HTTP 422	Insufficient balance	Top up at eachlabs.ai
Poor identity preservation	Vague prompt	Be specific about maintaining features
Unrealistic aging	Missing aging details	Describe specific aging characteristics
Timeout	Complex generation	Set client timeout to minimum 10 minutes
