As a part time proffesional I have not been able to justify the cost of photoshop so I am using PSE(Photoshop-Elements). I find PP(Portrait Professional) a usful tool but do not use it all the time. I rarly use the face sculpting function. I have set up my favorite settings and can adjust from there. Much of the skin, eye and teeth adjustments I can do in PSE but can do them quicker in PP. The face sculpting, if it can be done in PSE, I do not know how. About the only face sculpting I do is to open eyes a bit if someone is squinting and sometimes pull the upper lip down some for an exposed gum line. I am carful not to change how a person truly looks.


Concerning eye lightening, I am not sure exacly what you mean. If the eyes are a bit dark I usually take care of this in PSE. The PP I have is a think two rev.s back. I know the newer rev allows you to change eye color but I do not know what other eye controls it has.


Hope this helps.
