ok guys im new to the game now i have a pic of a model that her skin isnt to good and i need to smooth things out a bit how do i go about it on cs3???
 
There is not any right way to acheive this, it would be easier if you were to post the pic up and im sure someone will come along with help I once read a tutorial on this problem it involved selecting the face putting it on a new layer Ctrl+J then using gaussian blur then lowering the opacity it smooths out most defects then use a soft eraser brush to blend in the edges when I tried it I had great results.
This isnt set in stone I bet theres many other ways to acheive what you want

I know the question originally refered to skin smoothing in CS3, but have you tried Portrait Professional v8.? You can download a fully working trial and it only costs about £39.

I tried 'doing skin' in CS and Corel Photopaint, both are a pain, take a while, and to be honest, if not done correctly just look a bit 'air brushed'. PPv8 is really easy with lost of control and is a programme soley dedicated to doing exactly what you're after.

Hope this helps.
 
That Airbrush tutorial tried to shove spyware on my machine!

Luckily I am on a Mac but I'd be wary of that site!

If someone has anti-spyware on their machine and can prove me wrong please do so!

EDIT - Just tried it a couple of times and it's not re-appeared - I'd still click with Caution (unless someone proves me wrong - which will be a good thing!). Looks a good tuturial though!
 
Its never happened to me before, I have used it plenty of times, howver it did happen to me whilst grabbing the link for the other thread.

It was quite strange, might be something thats found its way onto the sight. in the past 24 hours or whatever.
