I know the software wasn't designed for this, but I've discovered something interesting/fun that I thought I would share.
After you have modified you photo, and you have both the before and after image on the screen, cross your eyes slightly like you do when you are trying to view those stereo images. This brings the two images together into a third image in between the other two. What you get is a 3D-like image in the middle. The more you've changed the original image the more 3D the result.
Modifications that seem to have the most effect are sharpening the eyes, changing the jawline and nose, and completely softening the hair.
I know, I know, childish, but interesting. Just don't do it too long -- it gives me a headache.
