I read the tutorial. Thing is, I use GIMP. Will it work there the same way or should search for another tutorial?Hello, see the problem is mobile taken pictures are almost come out with such quality, the main issue with the image is Noise which can be reduced but by sacrificing a bit detail but this doesn't mean that this can't be done... try reducing noise by using filter > noise > Reduce Noise or Median... then follow this tutorial :

Yeah...mobile phones can offer so much, yet their cameras are still pretty bad.change the background to a nice backdrop will improve it significantly but evil is right mobile phone picture has limitations
Skin smoothing...I have already tried it, but I will do it again. Slightly reducing noise will also help.As has been said, change the backdrop, reduce noise, check levels and *maybe* a touch of skin smoothing.
I know that Inkz's work is a million times better than mine, but here is the picture with some more improvements:

Yeah...I know that a lot of details were removed...I will give another try later. Or maybe tomorrow...MrLOD i wish i could say it looks better but in my opinion the original looks better then your improvement.
thats just my opinion but to me it just looks blurred you have removed to much detail.
