I'm been working of my loved one's picture.

Wel it's really simple. I wanted the background of that person to be blurred. Making the picture shot on a professional camera, of course simulates that the photographer is a professional.

Second one, repairing the face using the healing tool, which I learned here http://preview.tinyurl.com/3dohvv ...

I don't want to use it. I wanted to use a glowy effect, I don't like the SoftGlow Effect in GIMP because it just makes the picture white, and I think it also reduces the saturation of the picture.

Is there some other glows of GIMP?

By the way I became interested in GIMP because it's like Photoshop, but I think easier to use. And It's not bloated like Photoshop.

Please help me, I am more interested in editing pictures, not creating an art in GIMP.

What about playing with the lighting effects? I am not as crazy about GIMP's photo editing as I am photoshop's but it has some cool features. You just have to mess with them a little more. Have you tried playing with the lighting effects. You can go to filters and play with the lighting and bump map and get different effects.
