  • In this definitive, in-depth tutorial I show you 5 steps for retouching skin using the free photo editor GIMP. I show you how to properly use the heal and clone tools, as well as use frequency separation for smoother and more even complexions, high pass for softer skin, and the dodge/burn tool for contouring the face. With these methods, you can make someone with acne prone skin look totally smooth -without looking overly artificial or creating the "mannequin" effect.
    This is a great tutorials for beginner photographers and photo editors or photo retouchers.

    Using the Wavelet decompose effect along with Healing & Clone is akin to what you can do in Darktable to retouch skin. A very powerful effect for this type of edit. This is an excellent tutorial on how to do this in GIMP!
    I'd also like to see how you would approach damaged photo repair with the latest GIMP.

    Very good. Just a detail to add, it is currently possible to use the Healing Tool and the Clone Tool non-destructively in the GIMP in a transparent layer, without having to duplicate the original layer. Just activate the Sample Merged option

    Thanks for another great tutorial. I remember watching one of your earlier tutorials about skin retouching using a high pass filter, so I went back and watched that tutorial again. How do you rate the results of doing the retouching using wavelet decompose vs high pass filter and when would you use one instead of the other?

    sorry this has nothing to do with the subject here, but I was surprised with how good you are at touching your opposite fingers each time your hands open and close. When I do that my fingers not always touch that perfect. It seems perfectly parallel, without you looking at them. Bravo for that.

    You can also play with the opacity of the decomposed layers, especially the fine details layers.

    Great video, I remember doing the layer mask airbrush technique in college. Couldn't remember how we softened up a face and it was this method. Lastly how did you get GIMP 2.10.18 to look like PS CS3, your layout looks very familiar to me and I like it.

    I am getting back into gimp from ages ago. I always thought I was blurring, burning, smudging through the new layer and onto it. Grabbing pixels from the visible under layer and only affecting the new layer but not touching the lower layer. but now it seems that what I thought I used to do is not happening and I get a freeze of the mouse and a message in the info bar.
    Is this possible or do i need to keep duplicating the layer like you do here?

    Completely off-topic from the tutorial, but I found the cause of my cystic acne was anti-perspirant. Stopped using it and my cystic acne disappeared. Anti-perspirant gets on everything and then eventually makes it to your face. Switch to a deodorant or your perfume/cologne on your under arms and you'll smell great. Yes, you'll sweat but that's much better than painful and scar causing cystic acne.
