Thank you. When it comes to pictures, i want them to look as perfect as possible. I feel like the background and their skin are really bright. But when i try to darken it the shadows on their faces get dark and you lose the detail :( -- ghart89 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: [email protected] List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
