A couple of weeks ago you helped me use PS to enhance my photos. http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=70753 I have since been enjoying creating what I though were some pretty good shots. However, I now keep looking back an the image you did, and am finding that I just can't get the same degree of sharpness and smoothness you did. I have followed your instructions to a tea, but must be missing something. I'm wondering if you can help me get results more like you? Below is the image you created, and the closest I can get. If if make the image any sharper, I end up with too much texture in the skin, and can't smooth it out.

Pls help......

Sailfish,
I've emailed you...
I tried this again with the color image as the starting point following my posted instructions and it came out the same as before for me. I'm sure we can figure out what the differences between your process and mine are/were and I'm willing to try.
