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.

I followed along with your tutorial and I can't believe the incredible result I ended up with! I had no idea GIMP was this powerful. Thank you so much for this video!

@guitarbrad 4 года назад

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.

@omongemoderno 4 года назад

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

@DaviesMediaDesign 4 года назад

Very true! Not sure why I overlooked this!

@AB-og5kz 4 года назад

@@DaviesMediaDesign I don't really understand how this technique works, or why it could be helpful (duh...Me Supa idipt!!!:) DO A TUTORIAL REGARDING THIS CONCEPT. By the way, You are the best tool in my GIMP arsenal. Thank You so, so very much!!!

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.

@reel_images 4 года назад

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.

@sarabethmattis6099 3 года назад

How do you feather the edge of it?

@nickname1392 4 года назад

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.

@Maria-bp1pf 4 года назад

I have been watching this video and followed your steps until the high pass layer and my airbrush does not seem to work after applying layer mask black full transparency. Only works if I do not apply the mask layer. Thank your for your tutorials.

@qaz9258 3 года назад

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?

@johnlindquist6335 4 года назад

Very good presentation for skin retouching. I have just started learning GIMP a few weeks ago. I like to ask you what is the Make/Model of you mouse? Keep up the videos.

So question. I have a sports photo of a kid who has a face mask on. Is it even possible to remove that mask and basically recreate some sort of lower mouth? It is a wrestling photo so the kid has a wrestling headgear on with a chin strap. I would be interested to hear your thoughts. TIA

@brandonazoo Год назад

Holding the control key doesn't work. They must've done some updates ...any ideas on how do to use the tool? (I'm trying to find tutorials and unable to use any). When did Gimp become so hard to use? LOL

Is everyone else getting hammered with sour grapes Photoshop ads on everything GIMP related on youtube? Does negative advertising like this actually work, or does it just piss people off?

@rremnar 4 года назад

Do what every one else does and get an add blocker and a popup blocker. For websites that block add blockers, a popup blocker should remove that overlay.
