Title: Cant Find the Smoothing Tool in PS
Post by: rollsman44 on January 09, 2019, 01:56:04 pm

I watched a PS tutorial showing how to create Painting effect. I have the Latest PS CC classic and its no where to be found . I believe its called the smoothing brush. You use it to smooth out the Facial skin and looks so good.
 Is there a replacement brush for it ? Has it been removed? I appreciate if I can locate it so I can continue with my painting effect. Thank you

I'm assuming you mean either the blur tool or the smudge tool. Both are part of the same tool group, about midway down the tool bar between the gradient/paint bucket tool and the dodge/burn tool.

  I think it is called the smudge tool.  I saw it used to smooth out the face and neck .  Is this the one that I can use?  Thanks so much for the reply

The first screen capture, you're clicking on the WRONG tool in the first place. So no, nothing you do will have the Smudge Tool show up there!
