VaM 1.x Adjusting skin texture in GIMP without losing quality?

[Wolfmaster56]

Question to anyone who uses GIMP for skin texture editing. When you edit it, how do you change the colors without losing the quality? Like the nips and stuff fading?

You don't loose quality if you keep the file format and resolution. Ensure you're using the same resolution and format when saving.

I mean like, when you want to brighten or darken the skin, how would you edit it without losing the details? That sort of thing.

You mean when you paint over it?
Use color correction layers/tools, or blending modes with colored layers.

You can use a mask layer with cutouts for the nips. Make some color adjustments on a duplicate of the original diffuse layer, then mask that with the mask layer. Then you only have to be careful painting around the nips once.
