Nice tutorial. Skin smoothing and softening is the number one issue among glamour retouchers. Have you tried the dodge and burn technique for skin? I used to use degrunge, but dodge and burn using curves in conjunction with healing seems to be the new hot technique for skin. Good job, can't wait to see more!

[Lord Nytmare]

I've never really gotten into dodge and burn for smoothing I tend to use it for other stuff like touching up near the end, but I used to use Gaussian blur, Still do sometimes, it depends on the picture really.
I figure that the healing brush should only be used for major blemishes and spots, I like to keep the faces character so I dont use it for anything else , But it is comming up in one of my tuts.

I got every instructions till the point , "Layer is being link, and select it, press D" that where I am stuck because I used a Mac. Could u help me out?

That is interesting. I did wonder what was wrong with some of the pics and finally figured out I was looking at you red text over the image.

I'd lie to read this but I can't. THe text is too small. I'm old. I can't see. Please write larger.

just right-click on the tut and save it on to your pc and then just magnify to your choice

Okay. Done it, but in the future please keep instructions separate from the images. It just makes life easier.
