I'm considering buying Topaz for post production work. How versatile is it and what subjects is it best suited for. Thanks, Zosostein

NIK software is free and some of it is better than Topaz.

"...what subjects is it best suited for?"

Generally, both NIK and Topaz are good for altering reality a little, often better than standard "straight" photo software.

I use DeNoise all the time and love it. Does a good job of preserving details while getting rid of noise.

I also use ReMask to extract objects from photos and turn them into transparent masks. It can do a "quick and dirty" mask very quickly. If you're willing to put in a bit more time, the results can be astounding. With your permission I will post an example of a ReMask result.

You honestly are only limited by your imagination and your abilities. Here is a youtube link to some of their on-line workshops:

Topaz - like Adobe have been going for a long time. If they were not good...they wouldn't be plug ins for most other programmes.
You try/buy for each 'effect' usually.

How good they are is up to you.
Try some of the landscape ones... if that is your thing!
