Gimp: choose lips
When processing your lips, these must first be selected. The quick mask gives you the opportunity to select image areas in detail.
- Open the image to be edited in Gimp and activate the quick mask by pressing the key combination Shift + Q. There is a reddish area over the image.
- Choose White as the foreground color and click the Brush tool. Adjust the brush size so that you can color the lips well. If you come out a little over the edge, set the foreground color to black. You can paint over the smallest mistakes.
- If you are satisfied with the result, click the key combination Shift + Q again. The mask turns into a selection.
Gimp: Colorize your lips
Once you have made your selection, you can make the lips more visible by coloring them in again.
- Navigate to "New Layer" under "Layer". Name the new layer with a name of your choice and set the layer fill type to "Transparency". Click OK".
- Choose a bold red tone as the foreground color. Click on the fill tool and use it to fill the selection with the foreground color.
- In the Layers window, set the mode to "Hue". If you set the mode to "color", you should reduce the opacity a little to emphasize the lips slightly.
