I saw this in PCPhoto magazine and downloaded their free trial. After playing with it for about a week on various photos of mine, I decided to purchase it. There are things it can't do, but it does in 3 minutes what was taking me 30 minutes in Photoshop. Smiley The skin adjustment function is perfect, leaving them looking dewy and natural, not plastic and there are slider bars for everything, so you can see before you submit a change.

Before and after (crops of photo to show faces):

Yes. It's not a plugin.

I've had it for about a year.  Great program.  I seldom use the default settings though as I find them to be too much of just about everything, but just like a V8 engine in a small car it is great to have that extra stuff for when it is needed.  Here are a couple of mine.

P.S. It didn't add anything to her bare arms, I did in Photoshop!

Great job, Benji. Smiley It's an expense that I was happy to shell out. I'm glad to see someone else using it. I did write to them, recommending they allow you to add data points to the regions of interest to further clarify the region. Sometimes, if the face is not face forward, it gets a little confused.
