You’re high, right?

Blur, Sharpen, Smudge, all on one tool’s flyout… been that way forever.

Yes and No, I don’t think there is any "Smug" command (I may be wrong)

there is a blur/sharpen/smudge tool in the tool selection menu. It will show a water drop/triangle/hand pointer in the menu. This is in your PS help files

Yes and No, I don’t think there is any "Smug" command (I may be wrong) in neither CS2 nor CS3, *but* they both have several ways to smug using the Brush tool (with some setting or technique I don’t remember).

Yes, I have seen quite afew and some was pretty good, I tried once few few seconds but don’t have any Smuggy interest so don’t remember any detail how to do it (except using Brush Tool). And you should be able to Google for tons of them info, samples, techniques, or may be a action/brush?

Like Bobert says, the tool looks like either a triangle (sharpen tool), a water drop (the blur tool) or a hand pointer (the smudge tool). If you see one of these tools, click and hold on it and a fly out menu will appear. You then select from the flyout menu what tool you want.

Thanks guys for the replies, I found the smudge tool but it doesn’t behave as I hoped. It appears to warp the image (like in liquify) as it smudges. What I’m after is purely smudge.
Example: You have a white canvas and on it you dab a blob green paint and next to it you dab a blob of red paint. If you use a brush in the red paint and drag it over to the green paint you get a smug effect, and that what I’m after. Anyone familiar with paintshop pro will understand what I mean. I’m after a smudge without the warping or liquifying.

With the Smudge Tool selected, tick the box ‘finger painting’. Experiment with the Strength setting.

If I understand you correctly, this will do what you want.

Thanks Ragnar, Selecting the smudge tool and selecting finger painting nearly does the trick.
Unfortunately your required to use the eye dropper first, which is not neccessary in PSP.
As you’ve probably guessed, I’m trying to switch to Photoshop CS3 from Paintsho Pro.
It appears that PaintShop Pro really can do some things easier. Obviously though in the long run
Photoshop is better although I miss features in the other program.

You sounds like the typical man, who after a divorce, want to compare his new wife to his ex. Compare their cooking styles etc. to each other. Doesn’t he have the sense to realize it is different individuals? She should divorce him and
Photoshop should crash on your PC.

Photoshop has MORE options than PSP on each tool
and each tool has more choices to customize it
you must learn to use the options not just the tool’s defaults and there is no need of using eye droppers if you selected properly it will smudge using the palette or images colors, in varying degrees of smudginess as you choose

Dave, I’m at a loss as to why you critisize me.
I’m a real nice guy too, or at least my shrink thinks so! All I asked was I wanted a tool (smudge tool) which behaved the same as the one in PaintShop Pro. PaintShop Pro is by far the most user friendly for the non professional seeking near professional results at a reasonable price. Photoshop on the other hand is unmatched in performance and quality, and if you can afford it, it’s the way to go. I’m not comparing anything with anything, there is no comparision.

MM you may be able to something closer to what you want by working in a single colour channel at a time, if you want to
‘mix’ colours.
