Re: [photoshop-beginners] smooth

The name of the filter/action you want to use is called FFT action. There was a big discussion about this a few years ago. I have the action and directions how to use it. I will send it to you off line.

It is the same effect as newsprint. It is a digital print on paper and very tiny.

This looks like newsprint. There is a filter that can help this. I'm at work and if somebody else doesn't answer I'll look up the filter tomorrow.

Is this a texture overlay on a photo that you want to mask some background elements?  If it is an overlay, then you can apply a layer mask to the texture layer and remove the effect on the face and any other part that you want to reveal.  I can provide details, if the texture is a separate layer.  Let me know.

Hi troops,
Is there a way to smooth a photo that looks like this  (when magnified) ?
Of course this texture is exaggerated.
