I will not release my retouching to the public. It is done manually with a neutral soft layer dual curves and a frequency separation technique. You could essentially get the same effect that with horrible pore less skin with surface blur and manually painting that on.

For someone starting out, I think Adobe Lightroom is fantastic and pretty easy to use. It may not have the depth of Photoshop, but it will yield great results...even fantastic results once you know your way around. You can easily touch-up, like skin smoothing, without losing detail. PS is still king for heavy lifting, but for most people, editing in lightroom is enough.

I don't prefer it doesn't mean you don't have to dislike it.

With that being said I have Lightroom, I've used it once and that was to adjust my K temperature across the bored.

However most in the industry are using Capture one.
