reFine
reFine presents a new technique for performing selective sharpening, detail enhancement and edge aware smoothing useful for removing skin blemishes. Using high-quality edge preserving filtering, there are considerable speedups and memory savings over existing methods. Our approach decomposes the image into three detail layers: course, medium and fine. Each of the detail layers can be manipulated separately in various ways, for instance, sharpening or smoothing. Add to that Shadow, Midtone and Highlight adjustments and you have quick isolation of image features for selective filtering.

Each of the detail layers can be manipulated separately in various ways, for instance, sharpening or smoothing. Increasing the values sharpen while decreasing the values smooth. The Course, Medium and Fine slider values can be ganged together so that they all move simultaneously.
