Default What's your favorite?

Just curious as to what's everyone's favorite skin smoothing techniques and plug-ins for CS5? I'm currently using a surface blur/high pass mask for smoothing and I have no plug-ins, any I should get that are nifty?!

I don't really have a favorite skin smoothing technique. I don't do a lot of portraits, so when I do, I just end up using the tools that feel natural at the time lol. As far as other plugins.. Topaz Denoise, Topaz Lens Effects "for the sharpening mostly", Topaz Adjustments, Topaz B&W. All Great plugins! Topaz has an amazing line of useful plugins for Photoshop.

Thanks David, I'll have to check out some of Topaz's stuff. How did your animal sanctuary shoot go?
