does any 1 use portrait professional 9?

I bought a previous version, after playing with it and seeing what it can do I've not used it since - though some clients like the effect it makes the sitter look unnatural to me unless you tone it right down, and then you've basically got what you can do in photoshop in 5 minutes anyway
 
I had a free version of PP6 and bought the upgrade to 9. The interface is much improved but the output not that much different. I quite like the system. I am sure it isn't as professional as portraiture and other more expensive plug ins, and I am sure a skilled user could do better in Photoshop, but for £35 I can add decent skin treatment in about one minute and that is good enough for me.

If you like, send me a pdf of a portrait and I'll run it through PP for you so you can see the effect.

Just realised I had these to hand. This was a quick portrait of a friend:

and the default PP9 treatment done in 60 seconds:

I'm not saying it is great, I am not saying it couldn't be done better elsewhere, but for next to nothing it does a decent job faster than any other package I've seen.
