Smudge tool?

[HoodZ]

hey guys im looking for a nice little tutorial where the photoshop smudge tool can be utilized like that of Painter blending tool...he had his own sketchbook thread but i dont recall his name and its driving me nuts since i know i saved it but i cant find it anywhere....

i know its vague but the help is appreciated thanks

smudge as a tool for blending is something that should be used very carefully as otherwise i ends up ruining the area on which its used, i usually don't use it for blending but prefer airbrush set to a certain opacity for gradual color transitions instead :B. yet, it can come in handy for complex texturing when set to a strength around 65 to 70% combined with the scatter settings of ps cs. yet here are some tuts that may be helpful for blending colors and shadows whatnot.

i still wouldn't rely heavily on it tho.

i hardly use the smudge tool myself its just that i had saved his quick tutorial while browsing his sketchbook thread and now his name escapes since i cant find the little tutorial of his in my harddrive....gah the way he had the settings for the smudge tool actually yielded excellent results and im just trying to find out what his name is

ive tried searching but it showed up with over 100+ threads about smudge tool

thanks anyway

The only thing i know about a smudge tool working a bit like the painter water tool is to override rotation and diffusion ( not sure about the words in english ).
