In portrait photography, most photos do not out-of-Cam, ie unebarbeitet. Suffice it to say before. I edit the pictures afterwards more or less. With portraits of women somewhat differently than men portraits. Therefore I would like first respond to the treatment of female portraits.
Basically, the workflow always quite similar. I edit my photos with Photoshop CS4. First, I edit the RAW , as I have there the most opportunities to optimize the image without quality loss. Then I open the RAW developed and start to fine-tuning. In particular, the histogram, curve, contrast, saturation, and the clone stamp used here. In order to explain the steps best can I show my approach with an example.
Such was the unedited RAW.

my pictures I'm basically the same time in JPEG and RAW. I use the JPEG preview and if I edit the image I like the appropriate RAW. The advantage of RAW is that the photo is in its pristine state, ie there is compression-free and unedited. As it were a negative, as in analog photography. The JPEG is already inside the camera slightly enhanced by the sharpness, the colors or the like can be optimized. If
to edit the RAW, you have the opportunity to correct the white balance and exposure it which is a huge advantage. In the RAW can also be set to be output with what color the pictures. On Wikipedia, found again a nice juxtaposition of RAW and JPEG .
I shall refer only to the most important for me settings received by the RAW.
