FredSpencer, Welcome

Useful, as much as any edit program, for the minor softening of the worst that Nature may have bestowed. But when this program reshapes jaw/cheek lines and changes the distance between eyes, it's no longer a portrait: it's an advertising gimmick in search of "perfection.". The choice is ethical, between honest portrayal of a distinct person, or a manipulated image. There's a place for each, as long as it's understood which is being presented. Your understanding of lighting, composition, angle of head and shoulders, rapport during shoot, soft or hard focus will be more likely to produce results that garner praise than any artificial repairs.
