I have Photoshop elements and i'm happy , i did my first Post work to fix arms that looked like they had ripped muscles. It was a girl and i didn't want her to have that. I've never done post work before cause didn't have any software to do it. So i used the smudge tool and looks nice. it fixed it. Then i also did a removal of the thigh lines that occur in poser when a character is sitting( the line that occurs where the very top of the leg connects with the pelvis. )I took that off, looks great But the thing i don't know how to do is..remove the unsmooth, linear polygons in a poser characters shoulders. ANy clues?

Make sure you check "smooth polygons" in your render options. I had the exact same problem with V3 before I "smoothed." 

If you still have problems (or already "smoothed") then I guess your only option is to clone, smudge, erase in post.

Liquify in Photoshop does the trick nicely.....  easy too!!

Still there. Do what linkdink said: Switch "smooth polygons" on (Render Dialog) and see the big, big difference.

Even after smoothing polygons, it's not rather round yet.

I make a smooth outline of what's supposed to be a shoulder, merge down into my image, lock transparency and clone. It provides more control this way (sharper textures too) and you won't overshot smearing.

Also the reason why I endorse postwork (:D)

What figure (geometry) you are using? Anything low-res?

It's the miki character. I don't know why they made it this way: The arms are smooth and all, and then the top of the shoulder has that uglyness shown in my picture here.

Oh yes. The geometry is badly done for this character. No chance to fix this. Better put some cloth on her :)
