My GIMP work on Celine

[Lymon]

As we all know, Celine is the most gorgeous and beautiful creature to ever live( ), but I wanted to try my hand at removing wrinkles and blemishes, to see how well I could do it. At first I tried airbrushing, but that didn't go so well with really HQ pics, so then I tried the healing tool, and it's worked magic. Here are two photos i've done:

No offense But I only see a difference in the first pictures. And I really had to look.

 

But I give you a lot of credit for the effort!

I don't take offense at all, I love comments. I was going for a more "removing obvious wrinkles/blemishes" thing, and not changing her physical appearence too much, so she still retains the original Celine look. On the 2nd one, yeah I can see how the changes are hard to see from afar, you have to look really close on that one.

 

Thanks for the comment

The changes are very subtle, but that's the good thing about it. It's not obvious. I agree with Celinefanatic07, I really only see a difference in the first one. I think I see what you did in the second one, but the lines were so faint to begin with, I'm not sure it really needed the touch-up. There are several other pictures of Celine where she could stand a little "healing", but the second one is not one of those, IMHO.

 

I just downloaded GIMP. I have never used it, but I"m intrigued, so I thought I'd give it a try.

I do notice some difference in Rene, though. I guess you "healed" him, too.

Well done! I hate when people change her so much she's hard to recognize!

 

But one little minus though... I don't think you should remove the wrinkles by her eyes...

It's natural to have wrinkles round about the eyes when you smile!

Because of your topic, I downloaded GIMP and I have been playing around with it. It's got some neat features and tools. Some of the filters are really cool! I would like to thank you for telling us about GIMP, since I had never heard of it. Now if anyone is looking for graphic editing software for free, I can recommend this with no hesitation.

 

Can we see some more of your work? I'd love to see what else you have done using GIMP.

[ILoveDeltaGoodrem]

I think you done a GREAT job!

gimp is hard.

I notice it in Rene but not so much in Celine.

[Lymon]

I think I can see what you all mean on the second picture with Celine. I think that I might have spent so much time on making Rene look better, that I forgot to finish what I had started with Celine.

 

Here's another that I did yesterday:

These are a good start

Try this tutorial...its for photoshop, but GIMP has similar tools...I started with that before I got Photoshop

When they are enlarged you can definitely see the difference

You made Rene's head look like an ostrich egg....

[zoea2812]

It is very subtle

I couldn't leave him all wrinkley when Celine was so non-wrinkley

 

Thanks for your comments, everyone! Here's another I did:

On this one, as well as removing wrinkles and such, I tried to move the make-up line on her neck down all the way to her chest and cover her chest with the color, so it looks like she has a tan rather than a make-up job.

[Soloni]

It look great but it think you removed to many Wrikles... she look a little unnatural.... no offense though
