Healing Tool Fun

Here is a fun exercise that allows us beginners to get use to the features of Gimp and feel like we have accomplished something in the end, that is make Aunt Irene look ten years younger! There is a video showing the use of this healing brush in our tutorial post. view link It has no voice over so it is a bit hard to see what is being done. It is simply showing the healing brush being selected and a good skin spot found next to the blemish or wrinkle. Then the control button is clicked while placing the brush over the good spot. That sets the brush. Next just click the brush over the blemish. Below is a before and after image I just did in less than five minutes. Try it yourself with the before image or provide your own "Aunt Irene" photo and share the results with us. Have fun!

Read the above tutorial and went back and did Aunt Irene again, her face is not quite as full, nose is smaller a bit and I gave her some new lipstick! ;-)

I can see I've got some learning to do! And I need a better quality picture to start with, but here's some fun I had with the Gimp and my profile pic. I got carried away and used the oval selection tool to copy and paste and add length to my hair!



I'll transfer some pictures with better resoultion to this laptop tonight so I can play some more.

Now: Gray haired, wrinkled old fart..lol



Then: Young blonde guy with no wrinkles..
I used the Gimp Healing Tool and the "Gimp-Healing Tool" video tutorial to get rid of the wrinkles and the Gimp Path Tool and "Gimp-Changing Hair Color Using The Path Tool" video tutorial. The blonde hair was the best I could come up with though. If someone knows how to make the hair brown or black using the Gimp color balance frunction please tell us how.
