Retouching is so much easier using portraitprofessional than photoshop - I am mostly a landscape photographer and I have not mastered all of the techniques in photoshop for retouching photos, so when I use photoshop to touch up photos of my daughter and her friends (high school seniors), I spend quite a bit of time in PS. I found PP and it was only $79 and comes with a free trial. It definitely helps quite a bit and I am doing about 10 glamour photoshoots with all of my daughter's friends and this is a lifesaver.
