Perh= aps the better tool for removing blemishes is to track them with the point t= racker or Ae Mocha, and use the Offset plug-in with a mask to =E2=80=9Cclone= =E2=80=9D an adjacent non-blemished section of skin.
I haven=E2=80=99t used this feature m= uch.  I tested it on a couple shots, and it didn=E2=80=99t work well fo= r me.  About the same time it came out, I licensed the Mocha Pro plug-i= n, and its remove module has more controls, and worked better for what I nee= ded to do.  Downside:  It=E2=80=99s expensive.
