I am using this Image from FLICKR to edit and SMOOTHEN as a PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER DOES.
Smoothened Images look too attractive and good that anyone like them and try to make their own Images as yours.
Photoshop has a great option for smoothening Images and making them look attractive.
There are plenty of plugins available in This world of INTERNET to smoothen your Images, but, I am going to tell You the best way to Smoothen Images Using PHOTOSHOP.
