I saw where Topaz Simplify has been mentioned here before, I just purchased the plugin and have played with it for the past two days. Have attached a few. My question is, have any of you viewed any of the tutorials offered and if so are they worthwhile. Thanks in advance.

I love these! You did a great job.

I have only had Simplify for about 3 weeks, really having fun. I believe Heirloom Tomato has watched some videos and said they were helpful. I just keep "plugging" away :)

I just dowloaded the trial version of Topaz and haven't watched any tutorials. Seems as if you already have a good handle on this plug in however and especially, the pink lilies image really grabs the attention! I found the software to be fairly intuitive and generally like to explore first. You appear to have the same inclination. A remarkable and inspiring set.

I have PSE 12, and now that you mention, I think I've seen a little difference. Probably just the way the image is displaying; I don't think it'd be an actual change.

Think you are right, I have only printed one so may take a look at that before I can say they are actually different.

Thank you, it appears to be a nice plugin. They had it on sale for only 20 bucks.

Masterfully done; like the bold colors. Only would suggest lighting up #1 - the flowers need some more light!! Beautiful job - and continued success with Simplify. :thumbup: :thumbup:

I agree, it is the only one I have printed so far and it was dark, very perceptive of you and thanks.

These images look pretty good to me Larry. Iv'e been using it for a couple of weeks now and am having some fun with it. Haven't watched any videos on it yet. I'm using lightroom 5 as the host program. Mine will not work as a 64 bit version though. Has anyone else noticed that?
