In this definitive, in-depth tutorial I show you 5 steps for retouching skin using the free photo editor GIMP. I show you how to properly use the heal and clone tools, as well as use frequency separation for smoother and more even complexions, high pass for softer skin, and the dodge/burn tool for contouring the face. With these methods, you can make someone with acne prone skin look totally smooth -without looking overly artificial or creating the "mannequin" effect.

This is a great tutorials for beginner photographers and photo editors or photo retouchers.
