Sims Editing: Skin Smoothing, Hair Drawing, etc.
Hey guys! For you guys that are still into S&M and editing, what are some skin smoothing brushes that you use? Preferably for Photoshop.

Nice to see you back! :smiley:
I sometimes alternate between using a regular brush and a filter, depends on what I am doing usually and my mood. The filter I use is a plugin called Topaz Clean, though depending on the situation some lines can appear around the edges, usually after cutting. A quick swipe with the smudge tool gets rid of them, though majority of the time they aren't very noticeable. I
For the brush, I never bothered to look for anything new or different, I just use a regular soft brush and use low-ish smudge settings to even skin tones and remove blemishes. I would imagine that any brush used for painting skin would be ideal though.
I prefer the filter though with my current settings because it softens the image, blends/removes most blemishes, and softly sharpens at the same time. Not to mention it is quicker than using a regular brush. If there are large blemishes/issues though, I go in with the soft smudge brush to finish clearing them up.
Here is an image I did recently using the filter. Ignoring the extra editing I did on the other body parts/image, including extra sharpening, the filter cleaned her skin right up (and the clothes too). The areas with my sims (not sure about anyone else's) that are always a mess is around the eyes due to the low texture makeup and the skin.
