My only question is:
This is a photo forum or, digital pianters forum about how to owerpaint a person on a picture, make it looks like never appear in real life.
I'm sorry guys, but as a photographer it is irritate me when people talking about how to fix all mistakes in PS or other computer softwers. I know this is the easy way because need no knowledge about photography, but this is not photography anymore! This is "computergraphy".
And please don't even mention Ansel Adams as an exuse for all this!
I shoot on Fuji Velvia and Astia, with Nikon F6 and Pentax Z1p with Sigma zoom lenses.

Hi Attila,
Retouching facial lines, etc has nothing to do with "mistakes" or getting it right in camera.

Hi Jim,
Photographers did use good lighting technics, and makeup, and portrait lenses to eliminate facial lines and skin inperfections.
Today's photographers use the sharpest lenses for portrait which shows the smallest skin problems, than use PS bluring tool, to eliminate them. Make no sense! Use portrait lens, and don't set the highest sharpnes on a camera during the photoshoot.
There was photography before PS! But today, looks like no one can do picture without it.
I believe the retouch is OK until it is not create a different person, from the subject. This women is a 40+ but after the retouch she became a teenager.
I believe, any kind of retouch should be only cover temporari skin inperfections, like cuts or pimples, or bug bites, etc. Everything else which is permanent on the subject face should be remain on a photo.
