That's good too! I guess I just have to practice.

My attempt...about 6 clicks with the healing brush tool.

I'd also like to add that if that were my arse, and those were the only piddly little stretch marks I had to deal with, I'd be a happy little nice-arsed camper. Man what having 3 kids does to a body. ;)

...bottom ...top and bottom
I would clean up the other darker areas prior (would be tough on a low quality jpg). But it gives you a good idea.

The book recommends that you Heal out some imperfections first, like unwanted moles, etc. My quick and dirty ones oculd have used a little in some of those areas that are darker, not to mention a slight bit of dodging maybe. Great book and I highly recommend it!

My camera is real noisey at times, so this was no challenge, its a bit softer than you had. I also think this would look good in Black and White also. Here is my try at it.

I just used neat image, of course I have not bought it. Just have the downloaded version. I removed all noise then saved it and reopen it. filter and sharpened. But this leaves some jaggies. Back to photoshop and used the blur tool to smooth those out.

Airbrushing is a standard tool for skin, it takes a bit of getting used to but it helps a lot and it assures that there are no "clone clues" which can occur when doing a lot of healing.

It's a very popular tool for advertisment work.

That is so AWESOME! Thank you very much. I especially like the "tada" at the end (at the end, haha, get it?!)

I hope you're still following this thread because I just found the best tutorial I've seen thus far.
strechmarks will be gone for sure- like they were never there. You are probably done already but- just in case or for next time...
