This IS the Avid L2: Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Skin detail for 60+

When i was using an 844x the trick was a (very small) blur on just the red
channel.
In Avid i would do a blur on the entire shebang, then a chroma key on skin
tone to key in the blurred part, probably with a travelling matte.
(but then again i'm cheap...)

Smooth Tone is your friend. It's scary good at this.
