Remove Dark Circles Under Eyes Easily in GIMP

In this GIMP photo enhancement tutorial, I show you how to remove dark circles under a person's eyes (or bags) using a quick and easy method that looks natural. I use a combination of layers, layer modes, and the paintbrush tool to improve the look of tired eyes and the effects of aging in a photo.
This photo editing tutorial is perfect for beginners new to editing their photos and want to quickly improve the appearance of their photos and models.

    You could get better results with the plugin Wavelet-Decompose. You can target only the color in the lower frequency layers, leaving the details of the skin untouched.

    Thanks, just tried the wavelet-decompose method, it was so much better at keeping the face details

    At about 2:18 you gave us a before and after, but after viewing it several times, I can detect no difference. I'm viewing the video at 1080 on a 23" 1920x1200 resolution screen. Maybe the difference got smoothed out when KZread transcoded it.

    Maybe you are trying to sample your colors from one of your transparent layers? You need to either click on the background layer with original image first or, even better, turn on the "Sampled merged" option in the Color Picker Tool options and then it won't matter which layer you will be working on as GIMP will sample whichever color happens to be under the cursor no matter which layer on the stack it is.

    Love this tutorial! It's funny, though. You look at the bags and shadows and think 'How can I decrease them and make things look better?' I look at the bags and think, 'Hmm ... let's intensify this effect and get him to look more like a zombie.' 😁😂🤣

    for some reason this isn't working for me. I did everything up to the point of painting under the eyes, when i try to select color it gets only black, so i had to switch to the original layer to get the color and back to the corrections layer, afterwards i can't get any painting done under the eyes, i click yet nothing happens. any help? i retraced my steps 3 times, did exactly as the video.
