My experience has been that you can do exactly the same things in Portrait professional that you can in Photoshop but the entire process is much much easier and faster..

If you have the basic understanding of retouching that something "quick", never is "good". I'm not going to argue I do all my retouching manually. All the retouchers would laugh. It removes pore and detail structure from face yielding fake plastic skin. Detail is crucial.

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.
