I shot pictures of my colleagues at work for a farewell book. One image came out with a real drunkards nose - much too red. Not so nice.
I just doubled the layer, inverted it (Color/Invert) and set it to overlay mode. Ghastly. Then I added a layer mask in black, (hiding everything) and painted with a soft brush in white (with low opacity) over the nose. Worked really well. Gradually the skin looked better. This worked too on some blotches on the skin.
Sorry, I can’t show the image here.

Perhaps upload it somewhere and just post the link there? Or is that also prohibited?
I just can’t put an image of a colleague I work with every day in the net. Especially with a not so nice red nose.
You could make a screencast “how to make black bars over eyes”
You could take a picture you have of yourself (Perhaps the one you used for the comic podcast) and give yourself a red nose to start with. Then teach us how to fix it?
to get higher effect: paint withe on a transparent layer over the nose,
than blur this layer strongly…. and set the mode to color….
I’ll make a video, when I shoot the next Pic witch needs that way of post processing…..
if someone has one, so I will do it also….

P.S. an edit function will be nice
There is a fxfoundry script that does similar - ‘paint-with-light-1-layer’
part of the excellent set of scripts found at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimpfx-foundry/
the description is
; One layer version:
; Creates a 50% gray layer set to overlay mode.
; Painting on the layer in white will lighten
; regions below, and painting on the layer in black
; will will darken the regions below.
the individual script can be found at
http://gimpfx-foundry.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gimpfx-foundry/gimp-2.4/stable/
with the name ‘lowery-paint-with-light’
This is really a good set of scripts. But I have my doubts with these really simple ones.
Why use a script to make a new layer and set it to overlay mode? The fill with gray isn’t even necessary.
