Thanks for the tutorial. I am new to GIMP. It would help if you elaborate on the last part ,”Selecting the flash fill layer and whiten it and the rest of it ” with screen shots of the actual menus.

Thank you very much for that tutorial. I’ve always had problems with lightening photos and your trick would be very helpful. I’m looking forward for more tips

Yep, the author has decided to share it also on PolishLinux.org to get some more audience.

I use soft light for this purpose too. The effect is subtle enough that you really don’t need to be too precise with the selection. I just make a transparent layer with soft light, then I paint the area with a big, soft brush, using white color and perhaps 30-50% transparency. If I go visibly outside the lines I just use the eraser. In practice it’s faster and easier than trying to do an accurate selection.

Very Nice.
I only play with GIMP here and there (fun only), but have a great respect for people who really know how to make it productive.
Well done.
