I see some of you missed the whole point, TMIDD took the time to create this tutorial. It has very useful information. It may not be in raw, but that's fine. The bottom line is this, if it works for you, then it works for you. There is no need to be rude or disrespectful to one another or try to be a know it all. Gimp is a tool, just like Photoshop. I use both, it depends on what I'm working on.
Thanks for coming to my channel and supporting my content Ronicka I really appreciate it! Glad it helped out, GIMP can be a bit complex for some functions.
Can you or anyone demonstrate using GIMP on how to fix photos by removing shine from a person's face such as when the camera flash reflects on the person's oily skin. These shine spots produce almost white spots on a person's skin. I am not a photo editing PRO and GIMP is what I have available. When I search TH-cam, I can find tutorials on how to fix this problem with Photoshop or other programs but there are none in GIMP. Ironically, I can only find some GIMP videos which add shine to a photo. Can someone please help?
@@TMIDD Thank you for your reply. I do have some examples of the two scenarios I mentioned: oily skin and sun overexposure. The link below has three photos. 1) The photo of the senior in the wheel chair is a photo that I took. Notice how the sun is so bright, that the edge of her forehead almost disappears in a white spot. 2) Girl with the red and black blouse (internet photo). Notice how the camera flash made a white spot on her forehead because of oily skin. This is a very typical issue of indoor photos 3) Lady with towel on her head (internet photo) - this one is of least interest to me because it is similar to photo #1 but has a little more washed out surface area and not so washed out.

Bro you missed the entire point of retouching. Jpegs are already compressed, 8 bit images. The minute you saved a jpg you threw away useful data for retouching. You should always used raw so you can fix exposure, color, white balance etc. Keep the 12,14,16 bit data aa long as you can. Retouching an 8 bit image is always going to be worse than a 12-16 bit image. Whether you are just retouching skin or otherwise. Please look into bit depth and see why. To those watching this, you will always get better final images regardless of what you are fixing, be it skin or otherwise, if you maintain as high a bit depth as possible. Working on compressed jpgs is an amateur move.
Evan Richardson i agree with everything you said undoubtedly thanks for leaving that information. Here I was more so focused on the results you can potentially achieve by using the tools in gimp. I typically edit all photos from raw files.
@@TMIDD I get that, but people are gonna watch this and think "oh I can just do the jpg files". The only thing you should trust the camera to do is take the photo, never let it do any processing. Also I probably wouldn't be using gimp for any retouching. I understand it's free and all, but starting your editing workflow in capture one or lightroom and then moving on is a much better workflow. I know there are some that will disagree with that, but every professional retoucher Ive worked with uses that workflow. Just something to think about. Please don't encourage people to retouch with jpgs 🙏
@@MrEvanrich Trust me I don't encourage it at all. I actually lost the raw file to this shoot and it was the most dramatic case I had from the models in terms of their face actually needing retouching so we are on the same page. I actually use lightroom and capture one as well but since there is a market for gimp still I said hey why not make a video on it. But thanks for stressing that point it is especially critical to use raw files in any editing that extra data they hold make magic to photos that may have been blown out or underexposed etc so I def understand.
@@andrewmccarty I think you missed the point. Jpgs are great for sending to people as proofs. They are trash for editing. Judging by your videos, you aren't a photographer. I am, and I can tell you that any photographer worth their salt. Would only edit a jpg if there was absolutely no other option available. Editing a jpg is like trying to retouch a print someone printed out on a printer vs having the negative, the original data will always yield better results 100% of the time, regardless of experience, regardless of intent. Quick skin retouch or not, edit the raw, not the jpg. I edit images all the time from my shoots, as well as work with professional retouchers, and nobody takes Jpg files. Raw, TIFF, or DNG.

Thanks for stopping by. Do you have an example photo that shows what you would like to remove?
