Attached Link: Vizual Groove Neat Image Tutorial

The above link is to a tutorial for Neat Image (noise removal software) that is first rate. If you're having trouble understanding the workflow you can use with NI and your images come out too heavy handed (plasticy looking) then read this. Will give you a little better understanding of what's going on. They also have one on doing skin retouching with NI (see top of the page of the tutorial for a link to that). -=>Donald
