I did and I like it I just need to learn to control it more. I'm not sure if I would want to pay $200 for something when I can do it for free. I mean I agree its easier in the program. So I'm playing with both methods for now. I can see why people would like it I just am not sure yet.

The key is getting blemishes and everything done before running it through, if i understand it correctly.

I downloaded the free trial and tried it...found it just wasn't worth $200 bucks, especially when I'd much rather put that money toward another more important item. I really didn't think it did much more than what I could do in PS, and do it pretty quickly to boot. Once I set up the sliders in Reduce Noise, I pretty much leave them there unless it's an exceptional case. To me, it's not any more difficult than doing an Unsharp Mask in the Filter drop down menu. Over all the years I've only had one client with a very bad case of acne (I mean really, really bad)...and it just so happened to coincide with me having the free trial of Portraiture and it still didn't make the job of cleaning up that kids face any easier! But, I'm sure you'll get a lot people here with a very different opinion.
