Can anyone help me figure out how this skin was retouched?

Yeah - you cannot turn it off, you have to run the slider for that all the way to the left every time.
I so use it occasionally for the mass-call headshot sessions I do for real estate firms. The images are for business card and web use and a light application this without the sculpting feature works pretty well. I prefer Portraiture from Imagenomic - much easier to get a natural look, IMO. For the 16x20 portraits, I do it manually.

I guess it depends on the version of PortraitPro you're using. In my version, I can turn off any of the many modules they offer (face sculpt being one of them) Additionally, I can manipulate any of the many sliders they offer in each module. You can do as much or as little (or none) as you want.
Topaz has some good portrait retouching modules, as does On1.
The best way to go about it though is using high and low frequency separation.

Thanks She is a beauty, Hard to believe she's only 17 years old. But that lens is so sharp the images survive a slight softening and still look natural.
Nice shot, but if she's only 17, I would definitely relight that portrait with some fill.

There are several add on programs for skin retouching. Silverxpro has one'portraiture' that allows you to automatically make adjustments . I use the opacity slider to further adjust the softening. Google "skin softening programs" and i am sure something will come up. good luck

It is no big secret that he uses lighting called Rembrandt http://photo.stackexchange.com/questions/6601/what-is-rembrandt-lighting-and-when-do-i-use-it
He like all portrait photographers, do Post editing to get the effects they want. NOT all of the shot is taken by the camera. Firstly the eyes and lips are sharper than the smooooooth facial skin. Secondly highlights are added to the hair, as well as wispy hairs are removed. These are but a few of the photographers "big secrets". He may also not have the time to describe all that is done in post editing!
