Topazzed and originals (Page 5): Wow! Especially like the design on the Blue Mint Beetle. I've never heard of Topaz, but it sure looks like fun.

That is the thing I do not like about Topaz Clean. It always makes the fine feathers or grass or leaves look like those little tube worms that you see in aquariums. It makes the photo look unreal and it is very easy to have a halo with this program. I wish it would not do this because it seems like a nice program. I have it and I do not like it for the reasons that I just stated. But that could just be me.

Mr. Perfect

I use Topaz Adjust often and I agree that many times the preset effects make the picture look unnatural. There are two ways to work around this.
The program has the means of reducing the effect or simply duplicate the layer prior to working with Topaz and then reduce the opacity to taste.
I am sure your software can do that too. If do not want to bother just use Enhance Photo and you are done.

These photos where taken yesterday and I'm not too happy with them in their original format,so,i've PPd them with Topaz clean.This isn't a which do you think is the better photo post.When I have Topazzed my photos before other Hoggers have asked to see the originals so I have added them. There are 8 photos to be posted. :D

Topaz certainly makes a difference - generally good - but appears to need to be used with delicacy. Pics 1 & 3 look good. Pic 7 appears to be on the borderline and a little extra would push it over. Pic 5 looks overdone with the flower looking odd and there is a halo around it.
Overall the set is good encouragement for people to try Topaz clean and I will experiment more with it. Thanks for posting the set.

I just down loaded the 30 day trial , myself and I must say. I"m quite Impressed!!
I genneraly use Nikon NX2 Software, but the Topazz, Software truly allows some very extroadinary effects, that are much easier to use,then the the Nikon Software, that I had to learn by trial and error....
