Just to complete Andrew's answer:


You can use the levels but if you don't want to adjust manually there's a very simple way to do it. My screenshots are with Photoshop but I see you have the same tools with Gimp.

You simply select the black color picker on your Levels panel and go click on the darkest part of your picture.



You should get something like this already:



Then select the white color picker on the Level Adjustment panel and find the lightest part of your image. You might need a few tests.

For my picture, I had to click on the cheek.

And this is what you'll get. It's not perfect but a nice shortcut. Then you can adjust manually if you want more nuances.



You can adjust the color of your black and white by double clicking the color pickers.
