Help needed for highlights

I am trying to remove/soften the highlights in the picture, where the highlights were created by reflection of the flash on a person's sweaty forehead. Any ideas on how to remove or soften them so that they do not look so bad?

TIA,

Ed

In GIMP 1.x, there was a plugin called homogenize that seemed to do the trick. Because the purpose which this plugin filled for it's creator no longer exists, a version for 2.x doesn't exist, although I believe it'd be nice if someone "ported" it to 2.x because it did fill in a niche that I can't seem to satisfy. (If I ever get some free time, I might attempt it, but I have my doubts.)

You may also want to look at the levels tool, but I'm not horribly experienced with it.

well, thanks to michael i remembered three plug-ins i had bookmarked: http://www.logarithmic.net/pfh/resynthesizer/removal http://www.geocities.com/lode_leroy/gimp/ http://www.greyc.ensicaen.fr/~dtschump/greycstoration/demo.html

when i read one of these requests, i try to think of how to work with the gimp tools to handle the problem. i do not think about the plug-ins i know about or at least have bookmarked.

one of these will probably do the job -- perhaps all three of them. i don't know how to fix my brain though....
