Smooth Tone
This one-click action renders surfaces smooth while retaining fine detail.
Smooth or crunchy? A multi-megapixel digital camera with a pin-sharp lens is a cruel combination for showing every minor imperfection in surfaces that would look better if rendered smooth. This one-click action renders surfaces smooth while retaining fine detail.
This action provides the user with a quick and easy way of rendering flattering skin in portraits and increased flow and depth to landscape photographs. The action set allows the user to choose from a range of ‘strength’ settings and can be played on single or multi-layered files.
The action records a snapshot in the History panel as the first step, and this allows the user to ‘undo’ the action with a single click if required.
