Abstract
Even the best of portraits can often benefit from a little digital magic. GIMP is ideal for touch-up work and enhancing the best attributes of the photographed subject while diminishing the distractions that can overpower a great image. Imperfections such as wrinkles and crow’s feet can be lessened. Skin can be made smoother and more radiant. Dull or yellowing teeth can be digitally brightened and enhanced.
