ZE,

I use a pluggin for Photoshop by Imagenomic called Portraiture 2 to smooth skin. What I like about it is you can select only the skin tones using the eye dropper to smooth and select the amount so that the rest of the image will stay sharp. They also have some preset settings for high key& low key images, etc. They have a 15 day trial download on there site Here. I'm including a few examples of shots I've used it on. Hopefully this helps with what you were looking for.
