This script simulates a high quality (portrait) photo like these from the National Geographic.
Copy it into the scripts folder from GIMP, you will find it then under Filters -> Generic -> National Geographic.
Thanks to Martin Egger for the shadow revovery and the sharpen script, which I included in the script.

Update1: Added local contrast option.
Update2: Optional inverted layer mask for brighter skin types.
Update3: Added a batch version of this script, run it with
gimp -i -b '(elsamuko-national-geographic-batch "picture.jpg" 60 1 60 25 0.4 1 0)' -b '(gimp-quit 0)'
or for more than one picture
gimp -i -b '(elsamuko-national-geographic-batch "*.jpg" 60 1 60 25 0.4 1 0)' -b '(gimp-quit 0)'
Be careful, the batch script overwrites the original image. More info here:
http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Basic_Batch/
Update4: Fix for the batch script, it merges now all layers before saving.
Update5: Extensive internal fixes. Better defaults. And all edits are executed on extra layers.
Update6: Batch script also updated.
Update7: Two tinting options, red and blue.

Ok I just checked and it's only in the scripts folder and I am using Mac OS X snow leopard?

Maybe your GIMP installation is defective, you can check this so:
Open GIMP.
Go to Filters -> Script-Fu -> Console
Enter this:
(cadr '(1 2 3))
The result should be 2.
If GIMP complains about this, you should reinstall it.

(cadr ...) (an abbreviation of (car (cdr ...)); used to get the first element of the rest of the list, in general the second element) is defined in the script-fu.init file in the global script directory. So if cadr is not defined, then it looks like this file is not read. Does anything else that's contained there - e.g. caddr - not work, either?

I typed in the cadr command and it came up with:

Error: eval: unbound variable: cadr

Which means that something is defective. I uninstalled it and reinstalled the whole thing, and its still coming up with the same issue. Schumaml, I'm not sure what you meant by the cadr (I am a bit lost when it comes to cadr and such haha) so is there a way to define 'cadr' or is there no hope?

Sorry to be a pain guys, but thanks for all the help.

Used NG-filter on MacOS Snowleopard. Good sharpness but were did the colors go? A red barn became black.
Maybee the solution could be to before NG-filter make a new layer with realy fat colors and opacity say 25% . And the apply NG-Filter

Hello, Is it possible to use this script using command-line. I'm trying to apply this script for 20 photos. I thought it would be helpful if I can batch process this on the command-line. Hope to hear from you soon! Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. "Once GNU is written, everyone will be able to obtain good system, just like air." - Sir Richard M.

I really have no idea how to add these to my gimp, but I would think I just click on the link, it loads, then opens gimp and there it is. But I won't load. It says unknown file type, error. Can anyone help me???

I cannot seem to figure out how to get any plugins to work. I have Mac Intel, Gimp 2.4.7, Scrip-Fu. I have located my plugins file as well as the scripts file, but I cannot download and copy the plugins. When I click on the link it is downloaded as a document. I cannot open to save, and I cannot drag to any of the above folders. I am completely at a loss as to how to do this. Any help would be great. Think of it as trying to help a pre-schooler do this. That is where I am at. Thanks for your patience and help.

Sure, I'm not the best guy to help you, for I am not really a friend of Steve Jobs. A script-fu file is nothing but a text file. I never used a Mac, but I know Linux, and it identifies a file the same way as Mac OS. It does not "look" to the .scm extension as Windows does, but to the file's contents and "sees" it is text. I suppose that if you drag the document into your scripts directory, it must be copied there. Don't forget to restart Gimp or refresh the scripts (Xtns > Script-fu > Refresh scripts) after you copied them. Another solution: Elsamuko made a zip archive of 12 .scm files (among them National Geographic). Go and look there: http://sites.google.com/site/elsamuko/ François Collard.
