Just to let you know about the Heather Summers wallie:

a. First I smoothed out the lady's skin with the Photopaint ""Blend" brush set on maximum, making sure I did not break the dark outline of the body, set at different sizes to get in the small areas.

b. Then I smoothed the picture with a Redfield plug-in called "Perfectum" ($40 US from here - http://www.redfieldplugins.com/Downloads.htm), set to my liking.

c. Then I sharpened the picture to get back some detail using Photopaint "Directional Sharpen" and did some color adjustment to tone down the yellow.

d. Then I went over the girl's body outline in the manner I explained to you recently.
If you use Photoshop or Paintshop Pro, they have the equivalent brushes.

Also, if you have another smoothing plugin such as Noise Ninja, it should do the trick.

Also, the other "free"plugins at Redfield are very much worth having.
That's about it. The rest is a few hours of playing with it all. Hope this is of help.
