Smudge, Median, and the Blur tool

I've saved my progress as Flesh selection.psd found, inside the 26_masking folder. And I am at looking at the contents of the Hair mask channel, and you know what, now it includes not only hair but also the arms. Now I'll go ahead and rename this channel hair & arms, and the very simple reason was that adding the arms didn't really harm anything about the hair. So we didn't really need to have both versions of that channel. We do need to make some modifications to these arms though, because they do need some help. For example, the arms are rounded off at the bottom of the image and the underarms are rounded as well, so we need to tighten those up, and then finally, this lumpy arm here just isn't glamorous, and I think we should fix it up. And we are going to use a combination, incidentally, of a handful of tools, mostly the Smudge tool, but also we'll bring median into the picture.
