Hi...

I am looking for simple Smoothing Technique or filters or plugins in photoshop which should be like an alterative to Edge Preserving Smooth from Corel Paint Shop Software .

Please suggest if there is any such thing in photoshop

I just looked at a couple of YouTube tutorials about Corel Edge Preserve Smoothing. Now that I see what it does, I do not believe that Photoshop has anything equivalent. Photoshop has a Liquify filter, but that would be very manually intensive and not nearly as clean and automatic as the Corel. My only uncertainty is that I have an old version of Photoshop and there are new features that I am sometimes unaware of. But I've never seen something like this mentioned before. Possibly there are third-party plugins, but I don't know.

Thanks @Rich54 I am actually looking for smoothing technique because it reduces some file size...

can you suggest me any compression site which reduce only 10% of current image size , So far websites which I am aware of reducing minumum of 60 % I just want to reduce 10% only
 
Hi @Master
In Photoshop, if you use the Save for Web functionality there are a couple easy options for tuning in the file size to what you want.
In the image below, when saving for JPEG, you of course can adjust the quality level (blue arrow in upper right corner)
yet you can also adjust the "blur" (the arrow right below)
In the lower left corner is the projected file size using the settings you set so you can fine tune in the desired size you want by by slight changes in either of the above two options.
There is a more automated way yet this is the approach that gives you more control.
Hope that helps
