I do get an odd violet gray stripe between the new red color and the natural skin tone. Is there an easy way to fix that?

Any tips? or plugins? Any Gimp-God to help my lost soul? I'm new here but I remember that open source programs are stupidly powerful.

    If you want to use a selection you need to choose the "from selection" option when adding the mask.
