Anonymous2: This is like one of those Improvement Memes you'll see on Deviantart where the artist takes a work from the past and compares it to where he or she is at now. Only difference is that, in this case, there's no improvement to been seen. In fact, I'd argue that somehow this edit is worse than the one submitted prior.
Anonymous4: real problem is this: the contrast on the head is different than the contrast on the body. they should match, something easily correctable with photoshop.
we won't even go into the "two light sources for the body but only one for the head" thing...
If the body is drawn, add lines to the head. They must match not only in size, but in style if the swap is to be believed.
You have to remember I still have much to learn.
and some times the pieces just fit together like they were meant for each other and some times not so much, but I still fight it and TRY (level of trying may vary depending on motivation)
to make it work anyway. Not to mention My hobby is editing, not spending hours on the web to search for bodies and heads (good HD heads aren't to easy to find except rapunzel) unless buying the movies/tv episodes and screenshoting those. and I have 0 disney movies here except hotel Transylvania xd
anyways feel free to do it on photoshop and post it so I can study the difference between the two.
A for your question, its probably doable on gimp , even though Photoshop is a more polished software but I'm not paying for that. :P
Anonymous9: I'll agree with the other anons that this one is actually worse, overall. That said, that doesn't mean that you've gotten worse. The prime issue there is that you're attempting to alter more in this picture than you are in the previous one. Because of that, more flaws are present overall.
Anyway, I like edits as well, and I also use gimp, so I can give a few pointers. The contrast is a relatively easy fix, use the options under the colors tab to make it match.
The lighting, on the other hand, is a bitch. It'll require a bit of manual reshading and that can be unwieldy. It's just a healthy mix of brushes, blurring, healing brushing, and smudging, though. Colors and clones can be sampled from other parts of the face, of course.
Something that wasn't mentioned earlier: this image is significantly less crisp than the previous one. The face, the shirt, and parts of the stockings most notably. Since your source is fairly close, you should really only be using only various colorizing means. I can't think of why they would be blurry.
Also, if you haven't figured it out already, the selection tools are your best friends. Good use of them is downright liberating.
I'll have the old one taken down soon :P

Can GIMP do this?

Was there a movie that this was a scene from?
