You might want to take a look at Fred Miranda's Soft Focus Action for Photoshop <http://www.fredmiranda.com/SF_action/index.html> . His sharpening plug-in looks great (thanks Steven S.), but I thought the softening examples he showed looked overdone even on the weaker setting. They sure do look like a lot of glamour photography, though. Would certainly save you a lot of time for only $8.50 if it gives an effect your subjects like.

I had spent the better of 4 hours cleaning up "zits" on portraits I had taken.. It seems that would not have been a problem with a softer lens. I had used my Tokina 90mmf2.5 for most of the work.

The details I get with that lens is simply amazing. I can see the pores and count the zits... to which most of my female subjects have just objected..

But in the end, I'm in the camp that says I can always "post process" make a picture softer, but I can't make it sharper. I cannot sharpen what was not recorded. So I guess I'll just suck it up, and live with a sharp portrait lens.
