Surface rough after removing supports

I have been using automatically generated supports for my prints. When I remove the supports the surface of the print is very rough. Is there any way to avoid this and get a smooth surface?

Re: Surface rough after removing supports

There's quite a few good suggestions on this page:

In addition to those recommendations, the dense supports option can also help if you want to increase the support density just below the surface. It is particularly powerful if you have a second extruder for dissolvable support material.
