[@saiyajin_broly]

Thanks

[@williamhyde7310]

Very helpful thanks

[@nandhinipriya9011]

Thank you so much

[@omongemoderno]

Very good. Just a detail to add, it is currently possible to use the Healing Tool and the Clone Tool non-destructively in the GIMP in a transparent layer, without having to duplicate the original layer. Just activate the Sample Merged option

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

Very true! Not sure why I overlooked this!

[@AB-og5kz]

@@DaviesMediaDesign I don't really understand how this technique works, or why it could be helpful (duh...Me Supa idipt!!!:) DO A TUTORIAL REGARDING THIS CONCEPT. By the way, You are the best tool in my GIMP arsenal. Thank You so, so very much!!!

[@jeffpozniak9159]

I followed along with your tutorial and I can't believe the incredible result I ended up with! I had no idea GIMP was this powerful. Thank you so much for this video!

[@guitarbrad]

Using the Wavelet decompose effect along with Healing & Clone is akin to what you can do in Darktable to retouch skin. A very powerful effect for this type of edit. This is an excellent tutorial on how to do this in GIMP! I'd also like to see how you would approach damaged photo repair with the latest GIMP.

[@mindimartian9821]

Thanks for this tutorial. I have just downloaded GIMP (and G'MIC) to replace PS, and am now binge watching your videos. I have learned so much about the tools and operations within GIMP...... THANK YOU FOR THAT!!!

[@jbanimations8475]

Best Wavelet-Decompose tutorial EVER!

[@СергейД-ч4ь]

Watched it like a movie!!! So interesting!!! Frequency separation impressed me greatly. Couldn't even imagine such things when you separate colors and textures are possible!!!

[@saiderkan4002]

There are so many people trying to explain how it works, BUT your tutorial is siply great 10 of 10 points

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

Thank you!

[@simonbrand4382]

Awesome video, thanks Davies Media Design!

[@gm-fi9lt]

Hi Davies, you completely changed my photo editing skills. Many thanks for this! I really appreciate that there's such a good tut in gimp about it.

[@blenderstuff2239]

Wow! I'm in awe! This is an awesome video, well explained!

[@romanburenko7593]

nice tutorial

[@duuster-audio]

sorry this has nothing to do with the subject here, but I was surprised with how good you are at touching your opposite fingers each time your hands open and close. When I do that my fingers not always touch that perfect. It seems perfectly parallel, without you looking at them. Bravo for that.

[@ManiacallySmithing]

I did NOT expect such a good-looking dude.

[@saiganeshrouth4747]

😄

[@stevenb.5371]

Well presented. Learned a lot.

[@cobbinaloic]

I really appreciate the detailed explanation

[@happystar1000]

You can also play with the opacity of the decomposed layers, especially the fine details layers.

[@mrentrep]

Thank you, sir!

[@emj2884]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Your demo helped me boost confidence in 'retouching' photographs~

thank you so much ❤❤

[@anupamsaini7700]

Thank you so much.

[@CanadianParamedic]

Thank you for the lesson

[@reel_images]

Great video, I remember doing the layer mask airbrush technique in college. Couldn't remember how we softened up a face and it was this method. Lastly how did you get GIMP 2.10.18 to look like PS CS3, your layout looks very familiar to me and I like it.

[@keandabennett8109]

Thank you !!

[@Back2Pal]

I like your videos. It is very helpful. What if I have a lot of pride photos and I want to manipulate before printing? And thanks again

[@StefanoON]

I wish this tutorial was in the course.

[@baslielalene4702]

[@sarabethmattis6099]

[@sarabethmattis6099]

[@mohammedsharabas86]

thanks

[@kirbyagudelo28]

Thank you ! that helped me a lot !

[@jeynova6323]

Can you please do a tutorial on retouching eyes? Some people have ways to make them look white, sharp and clear. Thank you for all of your content ✊🏾

[@backfilms1953]

I can do that for you

[@deleted9821]

Mask them and do sharpness, clarity

[@DelElson]

Thanks for another great tutorial. I remember watching one of your earlier tutorials about skin retouching using a high pass filter, so I went back and watched that tutorial again. How do you rate the results of doing the retouching using wavelet decompose vs high pass filter and when would you use one instead of the other?

[@rainyman1984]

you saved me a lot of time, the video was very useful, I wish you the best of luck :-)

[@dniliveact]

cool 👏🏻👏🏻🔝

[@johnlindquist6335]

Very good presentation for skin retouching. I have just started learning GIMP a few weeks ago. I like to ask you what is the Make/Model of you mouse? Keep up the videos.

[@deleted9821]

Its cursor 💿 HAHAHHA

[@cosmo0080]

thank you for the detail, very good maybe some day you can take a old damaged photo and repair it ?

[@CO8848_2]

I see. Great tool.

[@talktolee]

So question. I have a sports photo of a kid who has a face mask on. Is it even possible to remove that mask and basically recreate some sort of lower mouth? It is a wrestling photo so the kid has a wrestling headgear on with a chin strap. I would be interested to hear your thoughts. TIA

[@Maria-bp1pf]

I have been watching this video and followed your steps until the high pass layer and my airbrush does not seem to work after applying layer mask black full transparency. Only works if I do not apply the mask layer. Thank your for your tutorials.

[@aleksandargluhov8371]

You helped me soo mutch my friend i'm happy that exsist people like you! if you have some problems in country Bulgaria you can aways chat me!

[@kenyancraze8669]

good one,,only one problem,,,be precise,,,it will help someone like me master quick but now u giving toooo much detail till someone forgets the previous step

[@qaz9258]

I am getting back into gimp from ages ago. I always thought I was blurring, burning, smudging through the new layer and onto it. Grabbing pixels from the visible under layer and only affecting the new layer but not touching the lower layer. but now it seems that what I thought I used to do is not happening and I get a freeze of the mouse and a message in the info bar. Is this possible or do i need to keep duplicating the layer like you do here?

[@brandonazoo]

Holding the control key doesn't work. They must've done some updates ...any ideas on how do to use the tool? (I'm trying to find tutorials and unable to use any). When did Gimp become so hard to use? LOL

[@bluecologne25]

So to finish it up, just export from there?

[@iamnotbrave9760]

your gimp icons are in different area how

[@nicktt500]

I tried to remove a little piece of eye mucus from a photo. It was white in color. I followed the first three steps in this video exactly, and it didn't do anything. Any idea why?

[@bloodymary6612]

I can't do healing and don't know why it doesn't work? did everything step by step still not working. it says set a source image first and i dont know what it means :(

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

Ctrl+click on a spot first before trying to paint with the heal tool.

[@sauravarun4383]

i have problem with my gradient when i click and drag it nothing happens please tell me whats wrong

[@candidonthestreetanupamgos5283]

Can I edit in 8/16/32 bits in gimp like Photoshop?? Where is the option located??

[@lukehammett411]

Image/Precision

[@freddyhung]

Credit to the lady on the example picture for being such a hard instructor!

[@City__Walker]

I think clone stamp better

[@gower1973]

Shouldn’t it be 127 for mid grey, it starts at 0

[@TSSSwag]

Wrl

[@DaughterOfNyx90]

I gave it a go, and nothing happened. Did this happen with anyone else? I can't seem to get it to work!

[@editerguidebeginnersfriend9680]

use full sr

[@alistairthomson8710]

Is everyone else getting hammered with sour grapes Photoshop ads on everything GIMP related on youtube? Does negative advertising like this actually work, or does it just piss people off?

[@rremnar]

Do what every one else does and get an add blocker and a popup blocker. For websites that block add blockers, a popup blocker should remove that overlay.

[@afsamsayah]

I liked it
