In the old days of film people used soft focus lenses and other means to smooth an image. Portrait clients loved this pleasant effect. With the advent of digital cameras razor sharp images were the goal. This is great for landscape photos but not so good for close-up portraits as it causes every skin imperfection to be dramatically displayed. To recreate the soft focus look software could be written to emulate the smoothing effect. The problem with that approach is it tends to make the entire photo soft when all we want smoothed is the skin. The Smooth Skin Photo Wizard uses special algorithms to detect areas of the photo that are skin colored and apply the smoothing to just those areas.
