Smooth skin, WITH TEXTURE!

[n-dot]

im not 100% sure, but i have a good feeling that it was this site in which i came across, what i consider the best skin smoothin technique, which reserves texture. it was link..

it envolved, ofcourse, smart blur/median & high pass filters, and also gave tips on how to sample a piece of tetxure from i THINK the high pass layer or any photo with smooth/blemish free skin and apply it, which is substantially better than the ADD NOISE filter..

only thing is i cannot find it again. i tried googling n and searching the forums to avail.. anyone know what tutorial that was or something similar? that sampling skin texure result was... great!

nope, it was an outside site. but that tut uses very similar methods and does the job!!! so THANKS!! any more sites that use that type of method, or similar? or even methods that produce better results than the standard masked smart blur layer..

i like to cross reference similar techniques that produce the same results so i can see which one suits me best!

any contributions are well appreciated!!
any contribution
