Dinasset. How did you get that outcome? a red mask? :clap

from time to time I like playing with gimp native filter "max RGB"
then smoothing and mixing the layers

Issabella · **Posted:** Tue Jul 08, 2014 2:58 am **(#23)**

Dinasset, I've found max RGB supplied the layer, and then ? How should I smooth? I get a part in red and other in green. no options to choose.

Issabella,
I'm back connected
Post here your original picture (you posted a snapshot of the screen, I cannot work with it)
I'll tell you what to do

Issabella · **Posted:** Tue Jul 08, 2014 9:26 am **(#25)**

Thank you Dinasset. I'll put the photo en various topics (enhancement) as this one is for children.

Issabella · **Posted:** Wed Jul 09, 2014 8:42 am **(#26)**

Here my new try. It's my Musa, my only one at the moment.

Good! Vivid colours and contrast!
(your princess is becoming a Gimp-chat star!!!
I guess you should keep records of all these posts -if possible- and show them to her, in some years from now; it will be sweet for her to look back at her story as a ... beloved heroine! a new sort of an album)

Issabella · **Posted:** Wed Jul 09, 2014 1:10 pm **(#28)**

Yes, it's a good idea! Thank you so much. :tyspin

Played a bit with some G’mic filters and brushes.
BTW beautiful granddaughter, dinasset.

very very nice, Ella Louise!
(yes, she is a very nice little girl)

She is a lovely girl, Ella Louise. Nice subject to work with.

Dinasset lovely granddaughter, I am not game to ask my children if I can post pictures of their children on the www. One of them let everyone know earlier on about her displeasure how ID's can be stolen.

Thanks dinasset and salyanne!
I wanted to give it a soft dreamy look. Little girls can be like that

Indeed a nice subject to work with.

Thanks SallyAnne, nice outcome!

I tried this look, but lacked a bit of practice and patience. Rather resembles a ceramic doll. (just a little) :roll:

And yes, I agree, she is a very nice little girl! :bigthup

Congrats Dinasset having such a pretty graddaughter. I rotated and cropped the photo. I tried to enhance colours in general. Lovely photo.

Using color curves

For these kind of photo, I use this plugins to tune its color, contrast, sharpness and shadow brightness by changing the opacity in each layer.

P.S. you can duplicate the layer if you found 100% is not enough

(preliminary note: my internet connection is very slow, so it's frustrating going through all the images in the page, I will comment quickly...)
@Akros: please, do not destroy my granddaughter!....
@Issabella: excellent result!
@SysTemX: good outcome, but: why not to make the horizon horizontal?
@okyl168: which is the plug-in you are referring to? and also to you: and the horizon?....
