Smooth Skin

I am tired of writing everything on notes.  Weeks later I can't remember what I learned.  I used Adobe Photoshop CS 5.5

  Before

 After, this doesn't make a realistic picture, but you get the idea.

Take spot healing bush tool to freckles and blemishes.

Layer - Duplicate Layer
Filter - Blur - Surface blur
Change Radius- 28 Threshold- 32 - click ok ( or desired to portrait)

Hold Alt key - click on mask key (located on bottom right side, its a white circle) picture should look like original

Select Brush tool - color white - adjust size
