How to Hide Acne on GIMP
If you would like to hide acne in a photo, you can use the GIMP paint brush tool to touch up blemishes. With the "Color Picker Tool," you can copy an exact color straight from your photo, which allows you to choose a color that will match the skin tone of the photo's subject. Then, with the proper brush settings, you can paint over parts of your photo in a way that the photo still looks realistic and other people can not tell that the picture was altered.
