I have no problem using the skin smoothing tool with colour images. However, the tool does not appear to work when I want to use it with B&W images.
How do I do it, please?

Re: skin smoothing with X3
Yeah the Skin Smoothing targets based on color tone. So a B&W image won't do.
So you need to simulate. I'm not entirely sure how to do it myself but I do know that depending on how it's done some Photoshop tutorials could be used.
You can trying doing a selection of the skin, localizing any edit, put it on its own layer then using a basic noise reduction.
There are some methods that include High-Pass, layers, blend modes, and gaussian blur.
