Would you trade this for Photoshop (or similar app).

I recently came across this software. It allows you to quickly edit faces to remove blemishes. It can even make it slimmer and add a bit more smile. It's liquify in one click. Has anyone used this software before? If not, would you trade it for Photoshop and take time to edit or is this a good idea?

I prefer to do all my adjustments manually and from scratch rather than rely on what I consider as lazy pre-sets. It will take a little more time but I have more control of the changes I want to make in small increments according to my own judgement and taste. My software is always the latest version of Paintshop Pro. It may not have the snob appeal of Photoshop or Lightroom, but it produces virtually the same results at a mere fraction of their prices.
