RE: [photoshop-beginners] smooth

If you want to enlarge, I would go with Genuine Fractals Print Pro. It mathematically rebuilds what's there rather than stretch existing pixels.... you will love it....

If you are trying to enlarge a very tiny print to a much larger size you will likely always see some problems with it.  As you attempt to 'smooth' out the dots (noise or whatever you want to call them) you will lose detail.  OnOne software makes a program called Perfect Resize but it is trying to create more pixels from existing ones (making something from almost nothing).  While it does a fairly decent job it can't work miracles.

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.
