Whilst it's main benefit is it's speed and easy application. Doing it by hand with layers etc is more rewarding.
Here is a very quick sacmp that i did.
All basic editing, but 15 minuets worth of zooming in and a lot of care :D

Basic editing as in Open Challenge Legal Basic Editing? Oh,I gotta learn this if that's what you mean!

This is a great topic. Here is my take on the portrait and my feelings about this kind of editing.
Creating a fashion or glamour shot based on an actual person is very different then creating a fantasy shot. I mean no offense to anyone here but several of these samples appear to me to be more fanciful then glamorous enhancements. The smile lines around the eyes are not all wrinkles and while they can be softened to appear more appealing I don't think they should be removed entirely when you are representing an actual person. The lines as well as other specific skin features are part of what makes the person unique. I think that if you go too far in attempting to glamorize a portrait then you can remove the unique characteristics of that individual. Many people don't like some of their own features but, like it or not, they are their features and that is how people know them. I think the trick is finding the best way to subdue the person's negative features and enhance the positive features while still maintaining the reality of the person. This is all very subjective, of course, and I understand that we all have differing views on this subject. For me, personally, preserving the uniqueness of an individual in a portrait is very important.
