I tried Sharpen AI but found it hit and miss on results for me. I do use DeNoise though. If your using it as a plugin try saving the image as a TIF and taking it into the standalone Topaz program. I found with DeNoise if I use it as a Photoshop plug in Denoise looks great on screen, processes but does not bring the changes into Photoshop. Using Topaz standalone solves that. Also when using the standalone version after it is processed and saved it should have renamed the file with something like _sharpen at the end of the filename. Be sure your looking at that processed file.

Amazon deliveries.

I have had this happen a few times recently. What I love is when Amazon says shipped then it shows as at Canada Posts main sorting facility in Mississauga and immediately goes to delayed due to external conditions and I get a note from Amazon that the delivery date may be missed. There it will sit for days or weeks. Same for Amazon shipments through Purolator, they say shipped and then it shows as at Purolator for weeks or more. The number of times this is happening makes me think its just passing the delay blame off to another entity when its really Amazon that is holding things up. I have also had amazon orders travel around the continental USA before arriving in Canada when I didnt even know the product was coming from the USA.

2 Finches

I picked up a Lumix FZ80 a couple of weeks ago and use it mostly for video. Today I decided to try a few photos with it. I am happy with these considering i allowed high ISO and the small sensor size used in these bridge cameras. But they sure are easier to carry as one gets older. :)
