RE: [photoshop-beginners] smooth

I think the first thing I would try would be the Filter>Noise>Despeckle or Filter>Noise>Median.  I would try despeckle first since it seems to do a better job at maintaining details.  (Note: I would make sure you run these filters on their own layer.  In fact I would do ctl-alt-j name the layer despeckle or median depending on which filter I was intending to run (not sure what the equivalent button ctl-opt-j? on a MAC)).

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