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.

Check and see if you have two copies of the same script in different locations. Your GIMP folders and in Program Files, if your using Windows. I never thought to ask if you were on a Windows machine.

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.
