Figuring out Gimp

Rachel- I know you'll love me for this. but I used your picture for practice.

This is a picture I took of Rach against her will. The lighting was great and she actually smiled instead of trying to push the camera out of the way.

Doesn't she look purty!

Well thanks to figuring out Gimp and some online tutorials and some free time at the clinic I figured out how to make it look even better- more life like. I first fixed the colors in curves, did a layer mask to make her stand out more, did an unsharp mask to her eyes, desaturated her teeth and smudged a little on her forehead and chin to get them more out of focus.


Much more like the real Rach.
