OMG whatever you are doing to their faces needs to stop. You are making a pretty girl look scary as hell.

yes i will agree!! a little too much.i have the program portrait professional. i use it just enough to clean up the face. would prefer the subject to wear some cover up of some sort.

Is this more subtle or still too much?

still too much again...her forehead looks more natural and then from the eyebrows down its still too fake looking. try the orgiinal, and just pump up the contrast a hair

Yeah, I agree, way too much. When I first got Portrait professional it was fun to play with but very easy to go overboard. Back it down with the sliders and allow a more natural look and use the touch up brush for left over imperfections.

Hey it's Lara Croft!!!

Yup, way too much sharpening and smoothing on this one. The doll-eyed look has transitioned this from a photo into something that looks CGI and fake. I also notice the dreaded deodorant balls in her armpits! You should clone those out as well.
