Topic: Soften skin effect action

Wonderful filter! I used it once and it worked great but now when I try use it, it makes the whole image blurry? All I am doing is selecting the action, hitting 'play' and it asks me to OK the blur and noise and then it all goes blurry?

Any suggestions?

Thanks ;)

You will need to use this filter within selected areas - i.e. cheeks, forehead, etc and avoid areas of detail. One method you could use: try using layermask. Erode away at the areas that you what to remove with the paint brush. Mix the opacity of your brush as you do so to blend.
