It's an easier workflow if you get the great model in the first place.

"Over airbrushing" as you indicated is exactly right... as is over sharpening (which many people do as well). But, it's hard to deny that anything which brings a picture to a more pleasing state, is a bad thing. Even you have had models in the past with stretch marks, or blemishes, etc, which could have benefited from selective help (no need to make them Barbie, just a little touch up).... if that's against your religion, no worries... Photoshop, and or your Photodraw are just tools. You use it to sharpen, which, by it's very nature is a manipulation of the original image.. viz a viz... re-touching. BTW... read your post at AlisonAngel the other day... welcome to the RAW world. If you want some easy workflow tips in Photoshop, happy to help.
