Sharpen and Smooth at the same time, with no retouching
BLURRING AND SHARPENING
Start by duplicating an image twice into new layers. Leave the original alone. We'll use it for comparison.
To the first copy apply a Gaussian Blur such as you see here. The radius will vary, depending on the image size and resolution. The goal is a broad blur that wipes out all fine detail, leaving only areas of color. In this case I used a radius of 25, but the numbers aren't important. Getting rid of the details is the point.
