Extreme touch-up
#2
Nice job, Dave! You and PP made this lady look 30 years younger. I'm sure she would be flattered. In the old days I used to do film negative retouching; this image would have been nearly impossible.

A comment on your lighting--you have "crossed lights" in this portrait. That makes every wrinkle and crease look deeper. You can leave your main light where it is, but move your fill light right next to the camera. That will allow the fill to do its job of filling shadows created by the main. That will make a more pleasing portrait, even of kids who have no wrinkles.
