Yes,
open an image that needs some correction
create a new action called "retouchmask"
Record
1. duplicate image
2. Filter/Noise/Dust&Scratches
3. Set the filter to 11 pixels and 10 threshold (assuming you use hi res images)
4. Add layer mask (bottom of layers pallet gray rectangle with white circle in middle)
5. Fill mask with Black 100%
6. Select brush "airbrush soft round (45,65 or 100)
7. Set color swatches to white over black.
8. Stop recording

When you run this action you will mearly use the brush to brush white over the area that needs correction. When you are satisfied with your results you must then flatten layers. Be sure that you are brushing on the mask and not the image.

This action is great for facial lines and micro acne. pores etc. Older people as well as teens. It does not remove ALL things. It does not remove soft spots or gradiated blemishes. It DOES remove any sharp dot type blemishes lines etc.

Lose weight
take the lasso tool set to about 20 pixels and take a round circle around the waist area. You want to include some of the space outside of the body as well. Go to filter/distort/pinch set to 15-25 and you will instantly lose weight. If you get hands on hips, it may be a little odd in that the hands will also shrink. It’s better to use if the hands are not on the hips. also this is best when not overdoing it.
