Can anyone help!! What tool do I use in photoshop to smooth out a texture? I have Photoshop 6.01 for PC Windows.

As Ricky Ricardo might say: Lucy! 'Splain! I have no idea what you mean by "smoothing" a texture. Give an example.

I Have a model texture for poser and need to smooth the lips out so it does not seen to be jagged when rendered

Try using a higher resolution, or bigger image.

Maybe try a little bit of Gaussian Blur.

I agree. Bigger image, or blur.

Thank you all for your help!!:)

What your describing sounds like a problem I had recently-- I was doing post on a poser rendering, and found that two of the smaller figures, only partially seen, had been rendered without anti-aliasing on. It would have been a lot of work to redo them, and the problem was hardly noticable, but here's what I did-- I went around the edges of the characters with the smudge tool, and smoothed out the places where the anti-aliasing was a problem. NOT something you would want to do if you screwed up something major, but it worked. I rarely use the smudge tool, but it has its utility and I plan to experiment with it more. ALL the tools in Pshop are useful for something!

joezabel, for post "anti-aliasing", use the blur tool instead of smudge. smudge will drag the colours around unless you have carefully set the opacity correctly, blur will only soften edges and you don't have to worry so much, it's quicker :)

Well, the idea I had was that by dragging the colors, I'd retain a fairly hard edge, whereas if I simply blurred them, a more blurred effect would be produced. But the bottom line is, if you want something anti-aliased, make it anti-aliased when you've got it in Poser!
