Hi,

I know this next question has been asked a million times, but I want to have a good skin smoothing technique that I can apply fairly quickly (under 10 minutes) and get solid impressive results. Does anyone have any good tutorials for this? A lot I have seen try to mimic that FHM, Maxim mannequin look, which I personally don't like. I do like that touched up look so that it appears the subject has smooth, silky skin. So any recommendations on this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I kind of like that one, but it really doesn't translate well into speed. Sometime I want to do this to 10-20 images and need to shorten the touch-up time. For specific photos, like ones I will add to my portfolio it is a great technique.

and need to shorten the touch-up time.

An Action & some practice will probably cut your time in half.

Try my Neat Image method. It's quick and very easy, and it doesn't look airbrushed.
