Manual Touch-ups
For a lot of that, especially with CS2, you shouldn't have any problem doing those effects. The glowy effect, for example, can be achieved quite simply. Open your picture in PS CS2. Duplicate the layer. Gaussian blur (I usually blur by 5, but you can experiment with it), then set the layer to screen.
You can use a large soft brush with the clone and smudge tools to smooth out blemishes.
You can use the pen tool, draw a selection around the hair and the eyes, then up the levels and colors in the picture, or you can tint the eyes by selecting a color from the eye and painting over it on a new layer, then putting the layer on overlay.
The soft effect can be created by duplicating the layer, Gaussian blur, overlay the layer.
Washed is slightly desaturated.
Bold can be done by duplicating, gaussian blur, hard light/grain merge, lower opacity slightly.
