Be more specific. do you want to remove defects, or what is your intent? share a small image of it using pixentral here, and you may get better suggestions.
I am an artist. I use photographs as reference for painting my flowers. I am trying to remove the details of veins, ruffles,etc. I can get the effect by squinting, but that gets uncomfortable. If you go to my website WWW.Barbaradave.com you will see how I paint now.
I want to get less photo-realistic.
Thank you
Explore your Filters menu, Dave.
Try out the various filters one at a time. If you don’t like the results, just CTRL+Z undo. Or step sequentially back through previous iterations using the History Palette.
I am not sure what to offer you. maybe try duplicating the layer and use surface blur to kill details and then brush back as much as you want.
Or do as suggested in the post before mine. i am a slow typer.
