    In PS there's a filter called Topaz right? I see it used in signatures and it gives it a smooth texture.. Anything think there is a plugin of that filter for Gimp?

    Yeah you're right.. But I did some searching and found a plugin called GREYCstoration which is the Gimp version of Topaz, not sure how similar of an effect it will produce but I'll definitely be trying it out.. As soon as I figure out how to load it into Gimp >_>

    <rant>Topaz is kinda stupid if you use it on such a strong setting that your tags only look good with it.Though I think if you use it subtly the smoothing it does is really nice.</rant>
