WARNING: pressure sensitivity is not working in Adobe CC 2017 versions.

It is great for smoothing skin without losing the edges.We provide pressure sensitive drawing experience on Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator/Animate(Flash) with VirtualTablet. The surface blur filter blurs the image but preserves the edges. Select the Filter> Blur menu and choose Surface Blur. Instead of applying a low pass filter, also known as the gaussian blur filter, we'll be using the Surface Blur filter instead. In the Layers palette, click on the eye beside the High Pass layer to hide the layer and select the Low Pass layer that we will be working on. As you may have guessed, on the High Pass layer, we'll be applying a high pass filter and on the Low Pass layer, we'll be applying a low pass filter. Now, rename the top layer to 'High Pass' and the middle layer to 'Low Pass'. Do this once more so that you have two layers. Now, press Ctrl+J or open Layer menu and select Duplicate to duplicate the layer. It may be helpful if you don't have a fast computer with lots of RAM or if your image isn't really large. You don't have to do this if you don't need to. This will reduce the amount of pixels to work with and reduce the load on my computer. Before I continue to duplicate the layer, I'm going to use the Lasso tool to draw a selection of the skin and duplicate only that area. Because the image I am working with is a large 31MB photo, processing the filters will be CPU intensive and slow.

In the next steps, we will be duplicating the layer twice and applying two filters to each of the new layers. The image I used is a high resolution 10 megapixel image with plenty of skin detail. Because we will be working with fine details, it is important that the image is a high resolution so that the details of the skin can be seen.
