One of the most common uses for raster graphics applications such as Gimp is the doctoring of portraits to remove imperfections and improve the image. While professionals make their subjects thinner, more tanned, wrinkle-free and sometimes even enlarge certain body parts we aren't going to go as far as that. What we are doing here is touching up a portrait, removing blemishes and just generally cleaning up the image; this will give you valuable experience with a variety of Gimp's tools.
