Mail merge is the good solution to create a mass mail in case you need to write same content with many recipients.

You can use the Merge Tool from Microsoft Office to create mail merge, but how can we do if we need to add attachment in to mass mails?

I found a very good solution made by Wouter Westerveld (westerveld@users.sourceforge.net); with his script written by Java, I can write mass mail with attachments easily.

Preparation:

• Microsoft Word and Outlook, versions 2003, 2007 or 2010.
• Outlook must be configured such that no messages pop-up when one presses the “Send” button. One known problem is for example the spell check that pops up before sending an email.
• In Outlook 2003, the internal outlook editor must be used (this is default), not the word editor.
• MUST HAVE: The zip-file containing Outlook Mail Merge Attachment can be downloaded from http://omma.sourceforge.net.

First, I just want to tell you a joke. Everybody think that the skin of models in the photographs posted in magazines is real, or at least is 90% same with the image (people think that models have beautiful skin, right?) but in fact these images was edited with softwares so people can see a very smooth, soft skin.

Second, in some photos, the editor was make an excessively action in the image so the skin looks very affected.

In this post I will tell you a simple way to smooth skin naturally by using Photoshop.

1/Press Ctrl + J for a copy layer.

Choose Filter->Blur->Gaussion Blur -> Choose parameter is 12.
2/Press V then number [6] for creating Layer 1 with opacity is 60%.
Create a layer mask then press [Ctrl + I] for a black mask.

3/Press [B] then [D] and then press [5] number to have Brush tool with white color and opacity 50%.

4/At this time, brush on anywhere you want to smooth, brush much for smoother skin and brush a few for fewer smoothing.
Note: If you brush on unwanted areas, then you’ll just need to follow this step: Press X for black brush then sweep into areas that you want to make sharpen.
