After some pretty successful tries with glaming up the photos such as Goth Gmalour and Pure Glamour effect, I thought I’d make a small tutorial about it, since Johan requested it so nicely 
So, here is a short 5-minutes video tutorial that will tell you how to turn a grainy photo with noise, skin defects and poor quality – to a glamorous shot, like in magazines.
The tutorial is zipped in .rar format, so you can download it to your computer, unzip and watch in WindowsMediaPlayer full screen. Click on the image below to download (20MB) Enjoy!

Go to Filter >> Noise >> Reduce noise and apply the settings you see on the image. We will only use 5px noise reduction as we don’t want to smooth it too much. [...]

How about providing a .zip file instead of .rar so that we could all open it without having to download yet another un-needed utility to do so.?
