Even if you don't care about the GIMP/Photoshop comparison, make sure to check it out if you're a GIMP user. It has a bunch of little tips as to how to get photo and retouching done with GIMP; I've used GIMP for years now, but had never realised what Selective Gaussian Blur was really useful for.
(These sorts of tutorials are very thin on the ground on the GIMP side, and this provides some real examples of how to more-or-less pull off the effects Photoshop tutorials tend to talk about.)
- pbhjpbhj 16y ago>never realised what Selective Gaussian Blur was really useful for This is probably the filter I use most - basically it smooths colours that are close positionally and colourwise to avoid graininess. A good way to clean up images quickly though it can look unnatural if done too much. I often use a little SGB and then a little Unsharp Mask when touching up images for low-res or online output. I'm not professionally trained but do use this for commercial purposes and have for some time.
